Instructions
Preparation
- Grasp bar with shoulder width under hand grip.
Execution
- Raise barbell straight up so elbows travel back as elbows flex. Follow contour of hips and waist. As elbows continues to flex, begin bringing elbows forward when forearms rises past horizontal position. Continue upward over chest until forearms are perpendicular. Lower until arms are fully extended. Repeat.
Comments
- Bringing ebows back forward, allowing forearms to be no more than vertical, permits a relative release of tension in muscles between repetitions. Also see standard Barbell Curl.
