Instructions

  1. 1

    Grab a barbell with a supinated grip (palms facing forward) and get your elbows close to your torso and back. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    As you exhale, curl the bar up while keeping the elbows to the back as you "Drag" the bar up by keeping it in contact with your torso. Tip: As you can see, you will not be keeping the elbows pinned to your sides, but instead you will be bringing them back. Also, do not lift your shoulders.

  3. 3

    Slowly go back to the starting position as you keep the bar in contact with the torso at all times.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
