How to perform

Grip a barbell with an underhand grip, shoulder-width apart. Curl the weight toward your shoulders, lifting your wrists above your elbows while keeping your core tight. Slowly lower the barbell back down, fully straightening your arms.

Muscles Worked

Biceps
Secondary: Brachialis, Brachioradialis

Tips

Ensure full arm extension at the bottom for a deeper biceps stretch. Choose a weight you can control throughout the entire range of motion. Prioritize a slow, controlled descent to maximize muscle activation. Maintain a stable core to prevent unwanted movement. Engage your glutes for added stability.
