- Continue to raise the barbells until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbells are at shoulder level.
- Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
- Inhale as you slowly begin to lower the barbells back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, alternating arms.
