How to perform

Stand facing a wall, feet shoulder-width apart. Grip a barbell underhand, hands shoulder-width apart. Keep elbows pressed against the wall. Inhale, curl the barbell upwards, flexing your biceps until the bar reaches shoulder level. Pause, squeeze biceps. Exhale, slowly lower the bar back to the starting position, maintaining control. Repeat.
