Exercise Description
Cheating Barbell Biceps Curl is a variation of the traditional barbell curl. This exercise strengthens your biceps and forearms. Cheating Barbell Biceps Curl enables you to lift heavier weight, improving your training motivation.
Exercise Instructions
-
Step 1
Grab the barbell with a shoulder-width overhand grip and stand with your knees slightly bent. Keep your core tight and erect. Lean forward, pulling your hips back slightly, preparing for a slight hip thrust. -
Step 2
Push your hips forward to help you lift the bar and do the crunch. Use hip thrust to help you complete the rep, but don't rely on momentum alone to complete the movement. When your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, slowly lower the bar back to the starting position and repeat.
