Engage your core and keep your chest lifted throughout the exercise.

Exercise Position

Curl the barbell upwards towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your body.
Focus on squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.

Form & Performance

Avoid swinging the barbell or using momentum to lift the weight.
