Barbell Curl
Upper arms, barbell
A standing biceps exercise where you curl a barbell from your thighs to shoulder height with an underhand grip.
Steps
- Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart and hold the barbell at your thighs with an underhand grip.
- Set your shoulders back, brace your torso, and keep your elbows pinned by your sides.
- Curl the bar upward by bending your elbows until the bar reaches about shoulder height.
- Pause briefly at the top and squeeze your biceps without letting your elbows drift forward.
- Lower the bar slowly back to your thighs until your arms are straight.
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with an underhand grip, palms facing forward. Keep your elbows close to your torso and exhale as you curl the weights while contracting your biceps. Continue to raise the bar until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps. Inhale as you slowly begin to lower the bar back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
