7 Barbell Curl Steps

For most beginners in the body building world, the most favorite muscle to workout would be the Biceps. The reason behind this is perhaps that most male beginner’s workout is to impress the opposite sex. It is a well known fact that most women adore big arms because it gives them a feeling of security, giving them the assurance that the man would be able to protect them.

Your Biceps are divided into two major components: the long and the short head, and the Brachialis which is a small muscle located near the bottom of the biceps along the elbow bend. To get the most out of your training session in working out your biceps, you need to do several types of exercises that focus on its development.

These types of exercises are usually divided into three. One would be where your wrists are facing palms up, another one would be where your wrists would stay neutral throughout the exercise, and lastly throughout the movement your wrists go from neutral on the start to palms facing up at the later point of the routine. This type of workout can be done with a Barbell, Dumbell, or a Preacher. But this time we will focus on the best mass-builder for your biceps which is the Barbell Curls. This is usually done with your palms facing up.

To be able to correctly execute the routine, here are the 7 Barbell Curl Steps:

1. Before deciding to do these steps, plan out your exercise regimen first; begin by deciding how many times in a week you would be able to perform this session, since it will not be effective if you will not be able to do this consistently.

2. Begin your session by stretching, and doing a breathing exercise.

3. Since you will be using a heavy weighted equipment, warm up by doing light weights first. Do like around 15 repetitions to set you up for the Barbell.

4. After the warm up, set the equipment in front of you, and then stand up straight with your feet apart, around the same width as your shoulder.  If you are more comfortable with another stance then you can use it, but this is by far the most recommended stance for Barbell curls.

5. With palms facing up, hold the barbell taking note of the width between your palms since it should be shoulder width apart as well. Begin to lift the barbell, bringing up the bar to your chest level without moving your torso or squatting down. It is your option to either touch your chest or not with this routine because once you crossover the vertical line, tension to your biceps would stop.

6. As you progress, while doing your desired repetitions, stop inches short of your chest to provide continuous tension.

7. After the repetitions, cool down, drink some water and head for the showers if this is your last routine for the day.

These steps, if followed religiously will bring more strength and shape to your biceps after a period of time.
