How to do it
- Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and hold a barbell with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
- Rest your upper arms against your inner thighs, just above your knees, and let the barbell hang down in front of you.
- Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the barbell up towards your shoulders, contracting your biceps.
- Hold the contracted position for a brief pause, then inhale and slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
