EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- Take a barbell with an E-Z bar, stand up straight. Your palms should be facing forward and your elbows should be close to your body. This is the starting position.
- Keep your shoulders still. Exhale and pull the barbell towards you, contracting your biceps. Remember that only your forearms should move.
- Continue lifting the barbell until you fully contract your biceps and the projectile is at shoulder level. Hold this position for a second.
- Inhale and slowly return to the starting position.
Repeat the recommended number of times.
Note: Only the forearms should move.
Variations: You can reduce the width of the grapple or do the exercise with a low pulley to which you attach an E-Z bar. In the second case, the load on the muscles will be more significant.
