The Barbell Drag Curl is an exercise that targets the biceps and forearms. It is similar to a traditional bicep curl, but instead of curling the barbell up towards your chest, you will "drag" the barbell up your body, keeping it close to your torso throughout the movement.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell Drag Curl, follow these steps:1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with an underhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep your elbows close to your sides and your chest up.
3. Start with the barbell hanging at arm's length in front of you.
4. Slowly curl the barbell up your body, keeping it close to your torso. Imagine that you are trying to scrape your body with the barbell as you lift it.
5. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the movement. You can adjust the weight of the barbell according to your strength and fitness level.
