How to do it
- Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
- Keep your upper arms stationary and exhale as you curl the barbell upward, contracting your biceps.
- Continue to raise the barbell until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbell is at shoulder level.
- Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
- Inhale as you slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, keeping your upper arms stationary.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
