Spider curl barbell

How to do it

  1. Lie face down on an incline bench with your chest against the pad and your feet on the floor.
  2. Hold a barbell with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, and let your arms hang straight down.
  3. Keeping your upper arms still, curl the barbell up towards your shoulders by bending your elbows.
  4. Squeeze your biceps at the top, then slowly lower the barbell until your arms are straight.

Tips

  • Keep your chest pressed against the bench throughout the exercise.
  • Your upper arms should stay pointing down; only your forearms move.
  • Exhale as you curl the barbell up and inhale as you lower it.
