Proper Steps
- Read "Getting Started" before beginning any exercise
- Using a preacher bench and an EZ curl bar, make sure seat is adjusted to right height
- The seat should not be so low that shoulders are elevated nor so high that you are hunched over
- Place the hands at either the innner or outer grips depending on which area of the bicep you want to work
- Curl the bar upward while keeping your elbows stationary
- As you begin, be careful not to swing or rock to get it moving
- Curl the bar towards your chin; the resistance is greater at the beginning of the rep
- Go down SLOWLY and work the muscle on the way down as well
- Can also be done with two dumbbells, a machine or on a stability ball
