Biceps twisting for hands
You will need:
Barbell
Strengthens:
Biceps
- Initial position
Standing position, feet shoulder width apart. Take the barbell from below, the neck should rest on your hips. Hands should be at a distance of 45 cm from each other.
PLEASE NOTE: When lifting the bar, do not swing it. This can be prevented if you stand against the wall.
- Basic movement
Slowly lift the neck to the chest, bending arms in the elbows, but with the shoulder part of the hands should remain stationary.
PLEASE NOTE: While lifting the bar up, press the shoulder portion of the hands against the ribs. So you will increase the load on the biceps.
- Final position
Lock in the upper position, then lower the rod to its original position.
IMPORTANT: The crossbar must move along the same trajectory of the semicircle up and down.
