Exercise Summary

Exercise Description and Instruction:

This version of the Concentration Curl uses a barbell rather than dumbbells and a close grip to isolate a different area of your biceps.

To Perform This Exercise:

1. Sit on the end of a flat bench with your feet flat and your legs spread in a V.
2. Bend forward at your waist keeping your back straight.
3. Grasp a barbell in your hands with your palms facing up and a close grip (4-6 inches apart).
4. With your elbow pressed against your inner thigh just above your knee, curl the bar up towards your chest.
5. Slowly lower the bar to the starting position near the floor.

Tips:

1. Do not allow your elbow to raise off of your thigh or move from its original position.
2. Focus on your bicep contracting and keeping the rest of your body still.
