Drag Curls are a biceps-focused movement that restricts shoulder involvement by “dragging” the barbell up your torso, placing all the tension on your arms.
Instructions
- Stand with a barbell in a supinated (underhand) grip and arms extended down.
- Keep your elbows pulled back behind your body.
- As you curl, keep the bar in contact with your body and drag it upward toward your chest.
- Pause and squeeze at the top, then lower slowly while maintaining bar contact.
