General And Specifics
- this is a combination of Biceps-Curl and Shoulder Press With Barbell, which trains the muscles named above in a small period of time
Starting Position
- grasp an ez bar or a barbell, the hands are shoulder width away, use the under hand grip (palms of the hands point forward)
- hold the weight in front of you thighs
- the arms and legs are slightly bent
- your feet are hip width apart and can be staggered a bit for more stability
- posture is upright
Correct Execution
- bend the arms without gaining momentum, bring the hands in front of the shoulders
- hold the upper arms and elbows close to the thorax
- instead of bringing the weight down as in the bicep-curl, stretch out the arms to the ceiling above your head
- the palms of the hands point backwards then
- keep the back straight and avoid tilting back the upper body
- afterwards, invert the motion and bring the weight back to the starting position
- do several reps
