Drag Curl with Barbell

This exercise is credited to the late Vince Gironda, the “Iron Guru”. It not only blasts the biceps and works the forearms as well.

Steps

1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent, and your abs drawn in.
2. Grasp the bar with palms down, shoulder width apart.
3. Extend your arms fully so they are against your thighs.
4. Slowly raise your arms, palms down, to touch your chest.

Note: Do not move your elbows or shoulders during this exercise.
