The barbell curl is a pretty common bicep exercise.
I'm sure you may have heard of it and maybe even
have done a set or two of it... ;)

THIS technique is going to take that exercise to the next level by
adding a new element of tension to the movement...and TENSION
is what makes a muscle grow, especially a smaller muscle like the
bicep.

It's very simple...instead of starting the elbow flexion at the bottom
with the arms hanging vertically (normal form), you will instead
bring your arms forward a bit THEN start the movement. This puts
immediate tension on the biceps before you even start the curling
movment.

You'll need to lighten up the weight quite a bit the first time you
do this (and it can be done with dumbbells as well, if you don't
have a barbell that you can use).

Start in the normal curl position.



Now, keeping your arms straight, bring the bar forward about a
foot. This will put tension on the biceps immediately.



Now start the curl from there.



Come all the way up to full contraction. Hold and squeeze for a few seconds.



Then lower down slowly and under complete control, keeping
your elbows forward.



Then bring your arms back down to vertical. Personally, I prefer to
bring them back down rather than keep the arms forward so as not
to cause excess shoulder fatigue that would otherwise limit the
exercise before the biceps get fully worked.



Repeat from there.

You will notice a BIG difference in tension on the biceps with this
one, compared to regular barbell curls. It IS a tradeoff, mind you,
because you'll be forced to use a lot less weight. The real benefit
is in the ramped-up tension on the biceps, though.

If you need a little something to shake up your next arm workout,
give this one a try!

And if you're keen on building the best arms you possibly can, I
would HIGHLY recommend checking out my book "The Best Arm
Exercises You've Never Heard Of." I cover biceps, triceps and
forearms in it, using exercises and training techniques just like the
one I've shared with you here.

Killer stuff!
