The Barbell Biceps Curl with Arm Blaster is an exercise that targets the biceps muscles in the upper arms. The Arm Blaster is a metal or plastic device that is worn across the chest and helps to stabilize the upper body, isolating the biceps and preventing cheating in form.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell Biceps Curl with Arm Blaster, follow these steps:1. Secure the Arm Blaster around your chest, positioned between your armpits and just below your deltoid muscles. Ensure that it is snug and secure.
2. Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing forward), hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Keep your elbows close to your sides, with your upper arms stationary and your forearms perpendicular to the ground.
4. Slowly curl the barbell upwards towards your shoulders, contracting your biceps. Make sure to keep your upper arms and back straight throughout the movement.
5. Hold the contraction at the top for a second, then slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position, resisting the weight on the way down.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you curl up and inhaling as you lower the barbell back down.
8. Once you have completed your set, carefully release the barbell and remove the Arm Blaster.
Performing the Barbell Biceps Curl with Arm Blaster can help to increase biceps strength and muscle definition. It is important to use proper form and not swing or use momentum to lift the weight, as this can lead to injury and decrease the effectiveness of the exercise. Start with a weight that allows you to perform 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps with good form.
