How to do it

  1. Stand tall and hold a barbell at shoulder width with your palms facing down.
  2. Keep your elbows by your sides and curl the bar up to shoulder height.
  3. Slowly lower the bar until your arms are almost straight.

Beginner tip: Go lighter than a normal curl and keep your wrists straight.
