Instructions

3. Make sure the hand you are not using to lift the weight is placed by your side. for best results.
4. Begin the exercise by lowering the barbell until your elbow touches the ground. Make sure to breathe in as this is the eccentric (lowering part of the exercise). for best results.
5. Then start lifting the barbell back up to the original starting position. Remember to breathe out during the concentric (lifting part of the exercise). for best results.
6. Repeat this exercise until you have performed your recommended repetitions. for best results.
7. Switch arms and repeat the movement. for best results.
