START: With your knees slightly bent and your feet about hip-width apart, grasp a barbell with a shoulder-width, overhand grip. Let the bar hang to your thighs. Keep your abs pulled in and your elbows stationary.
MOVE: Without swaying, slowly curl the bar in an arc toward your shoulders. Pause at the top of the movement and slowly lower the bar to the start.
Stand tall with dumbbells in your hands resting against your thighs and your palms facing backward. Begin the movement by curling the dumbbells up and holding the reverse grip, palms facing down, throughout.
START: Stand in front of a low cable pulley with your knees slightly bent and your feet about hip-width apart. Grab a straight bar attached to the low pulley with an overhand grip spaced shoulder-width apart. Hold the bar in front of your thighs and step back from the pulley about a foot to keep the weight plates from touching the bottom plate. MOVE: Curl the bar up in an arc toward your shoulders. Pause at the top of the movement and slowly lower the bar to the start.*Note: this exercise can be done with an EZ-Bar attachment.
