Barbell Bicep Curls

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Stand holding the bar with an underhand, shoulder-width grip, arms extended at your thighs.

Movement

Curl the bar to your shoulders keeping elbows pinned at your sides, then lower slowly.

Form Tip

No swinging — if your hips kick forward to start the rep, the bar is too heavy.

Increase Difficulty

Add weight or slow the lowering to 3 seconds.

Decrease Difficulty

Lighten the bar or curl with dumbbells.
