A staple for arm development, barbell curls help build peak biceps and strong forearms. Proper form ensures isolation and maximized results with minimal strain.
Instructions
- Stand tall with a barbell held at shoulder-width using an underhand grip.
- Keep your elbows close to your sides and curl the bar upward by contracting your biceps.
- Pause at the top, then lower the bar back down with control.
- Keep your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
- Repeat for the desired reps.
