How to do the Barbell Bicep Curl Close Grip
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with both hands using a close supinated grip (palms facing foreward). Your hands should be closer than shoulder-width apart.
- Engage your core and keep your elbows close to your torso. Slowly curl the barbell up towards your shoulders, maintaining the supinated grip with your palms facing upward.
- Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, ensuring your elbows stay stationary and close to your body.
- Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position with control, extending your arms fully. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Maintain a controlled pace to ensure that you're using muscle strength rather than momentum.
- Keep your back straight and shoulders back to maintain proper posture.
- Visualize the bicep contraction to enhance the mind-muscle connection for better results.
