Instructions:

  • 1Stand straight and grip the cable bar with palms facing down
  • 2Keeping the upper arms stationary, curl the weights while contracting the biceps as you breathe out
  • 3Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level
  • 4Slowly begin to bring the bar back to starting position as your breathe in
  • 5Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions

Tips:

  • Do not use your back or shoulders to lift the weights; your forearms should do all the work
  • Perform the movements slowly and deliberately, focusing on the muscle tension and squeeze
  • Do not jerk your back or shoulders in an attempt to get the weight up
  • Choose a lighter weight if you can't control the movement and form
