How to do it
- Stand tall and hold the barbell with an underhand grip at about shoulder width, the bar resting against your thighs.
- Curl the bar up along your torso while you pull your elbows back behind your body.
- Stop when the bar reaches your lower chest, squeeze your biceps, then lower it slowly along the same path.
- Keep the bar on or just off your body the whole way, and don't lean back to lift it.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
