  3. While keeping your free hand at your side for support, curl the bar up so your forearm touches your bicep.
  4. Slowly lower the bar, complete the prescribed number of repetitions and change arms.

Tips:

  1. Practice steady movements in this exercise, be careful not to let your arms sway.
  2. Focus on your bicep contracting and keeping your elbow in a locked position.
