Proper Form

2. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the curl and hold for a moment.

3. Inhale and slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

1. Exhale as you curl the barbell.

2. Inhale as you lower the barbell.

Precautions

1. Begin standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, a barbell in your hands, and your palms facing up.

2. Hold the barbell just above your knees, with your arms extended. Keep your back straight and your core engaged.

3. Take a deep breath in and brace your core.
