Barbell Curls | How to Perform Barbell Curls | Powerlift Pro App
Barbell curls are the mainstay mass builder for targeting the biceps muscles in the upper arms. Here are the steps to perform barbell curls:
- Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your arms extended down and holding a barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up).
- Keep your elbows close to your sides, and slowly lift the barbell towards your chest by bending your elbows.
- Keep your upper arms stationary and avoid swinging your body to lift the weight.
- Pause for a moment when the barbell reaches your chest, then slowly lower the weight back down to the starting position.
It is important to maintain proper form during barbell curls to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Remember to keep your elbows close to your body and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. You can also vary the width of your grip on the barbell to target different parts of your biceps.
