4 of 8 Barbell Curl
Target: Biceps
Common Mistakes: Swinging the weight; Leaning back; Bending the wrists back; Lifting elbows too far up/forward.
Doing it Right: Stand and take about a shoulder width grip on the BB (grip can vary a bit to hit inner or outer biceps heads harder). While keeping the elbows at the sides and wrists locked straight, curl the BB to the top with no momentum and no backward lean. Squeeze the biceps for a moment, and slowly lower the bar back to the start position.
