How To

  1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms fully extended in front of your body with your palms facing one another.
  2. Exhale and curl the bar up towards your shoulder while keeping your upper arm fixed at your side.
  3. Continue curling the bar until it reaches about the level of your shoulder and you can no longer curl it higher while still keeping your upper arm by your side.
  4. Inhale and lower the bar down, returning to the starting position.
