Exercise Description
This is a great upper body exercise to tone and sculpt your biceps.
Muscle Groups: Biceps
Step Number 1
Start by standing up straight and holding the barbell with your arms outstretched. Use a conventional underhand grip with your hands just outside your thigh line.
Step Number 2
Lift the bar up halfway. Your elbows should remain close to your sides. The bar should be at roughly the same level as your belly button, or maybe a little bit higher. At this point your bicep and forearm should roughly form a 90-degree angle.
Step Number 3
Once you have lifted the bar up halfway, extend the bar out away from your body. Your arms should now be outstretched, as you are holding the bar away from your body.
Step Number 4
Bring the bar back into your body, so that your bicep and forearm form a 90-degree angle, and then finally bring the bar back down to starting position.
Step Number 5
You want to go for a slow, controlled movement. Do not try to lift too much weight. Instead go for high reps, with a controlled motion.
