How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Stand facing a low pulley and hold the straight bar against your thighs with a shoulder-width underhand grip.
  2. 02Brace your trunk, keep your wrists neutral, and begin with your shoulders down and elbows near your sides.
  3. 03Curl the bar upward while drawing your elbows behind your torso so the bar travels close along your body.
  4. 04Pause near the upper abdomen or lower chest when the biceps are fully shortened without shrugging.
  5. 05Lower the bar slowly along the same close path until your elbows straighten, then reset.
