Exercise Description

The barbell concentration curl isolates your biceps for maximum growth. It removes momentum and forces your biceps to work harder than regular curls.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with your feet wide apart, holding a barbell with an underhand grip 2. Lean forward and rest your triceps against your inner thighs for the barbell concentration curl setup 3. Let the barbell hang down between your legs with your arms fully extended 4. Curl the barbell up by squeezing your biceps, keeping your upper arms pressed against your thighs 5. Lower the barbell back down slowly to complete your barbell concentration curl rep

Form Tips

• Keep your triceps pressed firmly against your inner thighs throughout the barbell concentration curl • Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of each rep and hold for a second • Don't swing or use momentum - let your biceps do all the work during the barbell concentration curl • Keep your wrists straight and grip the bar firmly

Common Mistakes

• Lifting your upper arms off your thighs, which ruins the isolation effect of the barbell concentration curl • Using too much weight and swinging the barbell up instead of curling it smoothly • Not going through the full range of motion during your barbell concentration curl reps
