At the maximum reduction of biceps slightly lift elbows upwards by means of deltoid muscles. Perform the exercise with maximum control over the movement, for this straighten the back and maximally bring the blades together. You can also bend your hands more emphatically, pressing the lower back to the wall, moving your feet half a step forward.

If you want to perform this exercise with very heavy weight, then slightly tilt the body forward (the bar below), and then, bending your arms, straighten the trunk backwards, giving the boom additional acceleration.

Such a technique should be used very carefully so as not to injure yourself. This option requires the presence of experience and developed muscles of the abdomen and waist, insuring your movements.

Training your biceps with a bar, it is very important to take into account the individual characteristics of morphology.

In some individuals in a certain anatomical position (when the arms are located along the trunk and the brushes are in the supination position, that is, with the thumb to the outside), the angle in the elbow is clearly expressed, and the forearm is curved outward.

This feature forces people with this design when flexing their hands with a rod with a straight neck to turn their wrists inwards, causing pain.
