Exercise Description

The barbell curl exercise builds bigger, stronger biceps through focused arm flexion. It's the classic move for building impressive arm size and strength.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell with an underhand grip 2. Keep your elbows close to your sides and curl the barbell up toward your chest 3. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the barbell curl movement 4. Lower the weight slowly and controlled back to starting position 5. Repeat the barbell curl for your desired reps without swinging or using momentum

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and avoid swinging your body during the barbell curl • Focus on a slow, controlled movement - don't rush the reps • Keep your wrists straight and strong throughout each barbell curl rep • Stop just short of full arm extension at the bottom to keep tension on your biceps

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging your body to help lift the barbell curl • Moving your elbows forward or away from your sides during the movement • Dropping the weight too fast instead of controlling the barbell curl on the way down
