Instructions
The close-grip standing barbell curl uses a barbell to help isolate the bicep during the curl. Steps : 1.) Start by standing up straight with your feet shoulder width apart, keeping your knees slightly bent and abs tight. 2.) Grab a barbell with an underhand grip and extend your arms against your thighs as this will be your starting position. 3.) While keeping your elbows locked by your side, raise the bar up towards your chest. 4.) Hold this position for a count and return back to the starting position.
