ARMS & FOREARMS (Beginner/Advanced)

Stand over the barbell. Position your feet at hip width. The bar should cross in front of your ankles. Point your toes slightly out. Hold your head erect and tighten your spinal muscles. Rotate your shoulders back so that your palms face out. Now bend over while squatting down and grip the bar at wider than shoulder width. Lock your elbows. Take a 3/4 breath. Stand up, pushing off the floor with your legs and back until you're standing upright with the bar hanging in front of you. Release and take another breath. Contract your biceps muscles and pull the bar out and up until it touches your neck. Keep your upper arms pointed down while they bend at the elbows especially during the "sticking point" when the resistance is furthest away from the "center of gravity". Hold momentarily and then lower the bar.
