#3 Barbell Curl
Often seen as the staple exercise for building bigger arms, the barbell curl activates a host of muscles in the upper arms. Moreover, the exercise is ideal for even beginners and casual trainers, thanks to its simple motion.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight with a firm torso and place your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the barbell with both the hands such that the arms are close to the body and are in a fully extended position. Position the palms away from the body.
Step 2: With stationary upper arms, curl the barbell upwards until it is in line with the shoulders.
Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the initial position.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.
Important tips: Do not sway your elbows and keep them close to the body throughout the duration of the exercise. Vary the grip position for added resistance and improved customisability.
