Description

  • Hold a weighted bar in your hands a little wider than shoulder width with your palms up.
  • Slowly raise the weight as far as is comfortably possible.
  • Slowly lower the bar back until just before your arm is fully open. This maintains tension on your biceps.
  • Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions or until fatigued
