Description: Stand up straight and hold a barbell with a shoulder-width supinated grip (palms facing upward). Your arms should be almost fully extended and the barbell should rest against your thighs. Keep your body still. Exhale as you curl the barbell up towards your shoulders until your elbows are fully flexed. Allow your elbows to move forward slightly (shoulder flexion) until your forearms are vertical. Hold this position for a count of two while squeezing your biceps. Inhale as you slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, keeping control of the movement. Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
