FOREARMS (Beginner/Advanced) Stand over the barbell and position your feet underneath it at hip width and just in front of your ankles. Point your toes out. Hold your head erect and tighten your spinal muscles. Rotate your shoulders forward so that your palms face in. Now bend over while squatting down and grip the bar at shoulder width. Lock your elbows. Take a 3/4 breath. Stand up, pushing off the floor with your legs and back until you are upright with the barbell hanging in front of you. Release, take another breath. Contract your biceps and the muscles of your forearms, pulling the bar up and out until it touches your neck. Keep your upper arm pointed down while it bends up at the elbow, especially at the "sticking point" where the resistance is furthest away from the "center of gravity." Hold momentarily, then lower. |
