How to do the Barbell Drag Curl
- Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with both hands using a supinated grip (palms facing up). Your hands should be about shoulder-width apart.
- Begin by pulling your elbows back and curling the barbell up along your body, dragging it against your torso.
- Continue to pull the barbell upward until it reaches chest level, keeping your elbows back and close to your body.
- Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, maintaining control and keeping the barbell close to your torso. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Keep your elbows back to ensure the barbell stays close to your torso throughout the movement.
- 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.
