Primary Muscle: Biceps
Equipment: Barbell
Level: Beginner
Purpose: To target the inner/short head of the biceps brachii muscle. Using a bar for this exercise allows you to effectively load more weight on the biceps brachii muscle.
Execution: Standing with your feet shoulder width apart, grasp a straight barbell with an underhand grip at shoulder width. Curl the weight up all the way up squeezing the biceps and keeping the elbows locked at your side. Squeeze your biceps at the top of each rep then slowly lower the bar all the way down while resisting the weight. Keep your wrists straight throughout the exercise. Exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down.
