While keeping your elbows close to your torso, curl the weights while contracting your biceps as you breathe out. Only the forearms should move, your upper arms should remain stationary at all times.
Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbell is at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
Slowly begin to bring the barbell back to the starting position as you breathe in.
Repeat this movement for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Pro Tip
**Controlled Movements**: Avoid quick, jerky movements. These can lead to injury and don't effectively work your muscles. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. Lift the barbell slowly, pause at the top of the movement, and then slowly lower it back down. **Avoid Using Too Much Weight**: A common mistake is using too much weight. This can lead to poor form and potential injury. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase it as your strength improves. **
