Instructions
Preparation
- Lie on prone on incline bench with shoulders near top of incline. Knees can rest on seat or legs can be straddled to sides. From low rack or partner, grasp curl bar with shoulder width underhand grip.
Execution
- Raise the bar until arms are flexed. Lower the barbell until arms are fully extended. Repeat.
Comments
- The long head (lateral head) of the biceps brachii is activated significantly more than the short head (medial head) of the biceps brachii since the short head enters into active insufficiency as it continues to contract.
