STANDING BARBELL
CURL : Develop the overall size of the biceps muscle.
This is the
most basic and popular of biceps exercises.
This biceps
muscle exercise
invites poor form, so use manageable instead of Herculean weights. With
a waist width grip on the bar, lock your wrists into position and your
elbows into your sides, then curl the barbell all the way up under
control to a full contraction. Feel the squeeze for a moment in your
biceps muscle before slowly lowering the weight when performing the
standing barbell curl workout.
When you can no longer
get the barbell all the way up, you may gradually feed in some body
thrust, but only to push it through the sticking point. Never swing the
barbell. We have our training partner to help us after we reach failure, but
our partner assists only enough to get the bar to the top. We then lower it as
slowly as we can. Remember , do not cheat your movement during the
standing barbell curl exercise.
