While keeping your upper arms stationary, curl the weights while contracting your biceps as you breathe out. Only your forearms should move. Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.
Hold the contracted position for a second as you squeeze your biceps.
Slowly begin to bring the bar back to starting position as your breathe in.
Repeat the process for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Elbow Positioning**: Keep your elbows close to your body and don't let them flare out. This is critical to target the biceps correctly. Also, ensure your elbows are not moving forward while curling the bar. This is a common mistake that can shift the load from the biceps to the shoulders and back. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid swinging or using your back to lift the weight. This is a common mistake and can lead to back strain or injury. The movement should be slow and controlled, focusing on the muscle contraction and not on the weights being lifted. **Full Range of Motion**: Make sure you're using a full range
