Straight barbell curls
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, grip a barbell also about shoulder width apart. The starting position for this exercise is with the arms fully extended with the barbell resting against your thighs.
Curl the barbell up toward your chest until your arms lock out at the top so that the barbell is up near your chest height. Lower the barbell down to the starting position, ensuring that you take about 4-5 seconds to complete each rep.
As this is a compound movement (using both biceps), it’s best to perform before any isolation exercises. This will ensure that when you do your isolation exercises, the muslce is already pre-fatigued which means you won’t need to worry too much about heavy weights, instead focusing on the technique for that perfect shape.
