Dead-Curl-Press is a multi-joint, upper-body exercise that increases strength and size in the biceps, triceps, and shoulders.

Step 1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, the bar rests directly on your shins. Bend at the waist and grab the bar with a reverse grip.
Step 2
Keep your chest up and your back straight as you lift up with the bar. Standing, keep your elbows in tension as you perform barbell curls, bringing the bar up to your shoulders.
Step 3
Push the bar up and pause with it overhead before changing steps and returning to the starting position.

Dead-Curl-Press targets Abs, Biceps, Delts, Glutes, Hamstrings, Lats, Quads, Shoulders, Total Body, Triceps as seen below.

Try not to round your back as you move. Keep your chest up, abs tight, and back straight throughout the exercise to avoid injury.
Do not lift weights while twisting. Keep your elbows pressed to your sides to emphasize your biceps.
