Barbell Curl - Arm Exercise
By Elliott | April 26, 2008
Main Muscle Worked:Biceps
Other Muscles Worked:Forearms
Equipment: Barbell
Mechanics Type:Isolation
You can perform regular barbell curls by grasping a barbell with an underhand grip, and with your hands separated by a shoulder-width distance. In the initial position, shown in Figure 1, you should be standing up straight with a shoulder-width stance and with your shoulders squared.
Allow the barbell to hang at arm’s length in front of you, with your hands, arms, and shoulders aligned. While focusing on your biceps and keeping your upper-arms still, lift the bar upwards to your chest, as shown in Figure 2.
Once you’ve lifted the bar as high as you can, squeeze your biceps and then begin slowly lowering the bar down until your arms are nearly straight, again.
