Barbell reverse curl
Advanced10 repsNo jumping
How to do it
- Add weight to an EZ bar. Begin with roughly half of what you can bicep curl.
- Grab the bar with an even overhand grip with your hands shoulder-width apart.
- Stand tall, straighten your arms, and have the bar rest against your thighs.
- Bring your shoulders back, engage your abs, straighten your wrists, and take a breath.
- Curl the EZ bar up until your wrists are slightly higher than your elbows. Don’t use momentum to lift the weight.
- Hold the top position for a moment. You should feel your biceps and the front of your forearms working. Don’t let your wrists bend in any direction; have them in line with your forearms.
- Lower the EZ bar slowly, making sure to extend your elbows at the bottom as you exhale.
- Take another breath and repeat.
