Lying Close-Grip Bar Curl On High Pulley
How to do it
- 01
Place a flat bench in front of a high pulley or lat pulldown machine.
- 02
Hold the straight bar attachment using an underhand grip (palms up) that is about shoulder width.
- 03
Lie on your back with your head over the end of the bench.
- 04
Now extend your arms straight above your shoulders. Your torso and your arms should make a 90-degree angle and the elbows should be in. This will be your starting position.
- 05
As you breathe out, curl the bar down in a semicircular motion until it touches your chin. Squeeze the biceps for a second at the top contracted position. Tip: As you execute this motion only the forearms should move. At no time should the upper arms be moving at all. They are to remain perpendicular throughout the movement.
- 06
Return to starting position slowly.
- 07
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
