Need some assistance with FREE WEIGHTS and FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT?
Watch these how-to videos if you are just starting out, OR if you are an experienced weightlifter hoping to correct or check your form!
Check out VIM’s Free Weights & Functional Movement Series – Each week we’ll post a video demonstrating a new move. Next up, BARBELL INCLINE CURLS!
Lie against an incline bench, with your arms holding a barbell and hanging down in a horizontal line. This will be your starting position.
While keeping the upper arms stationary, curl the weight up as high as you can while squeezing the biceps. Breathe out as you perform this portion of the movement. Tip: Only the forearms should move. Do not swing the arms.
After a second contraction, slowly go back to the starting position as you inhale. Tip: Make sure that you go all of the way down.
