Weight Lifting Exercises: Wide-Grip Barbell Curls

Video Transcript

"What I'm performing here now is the wide grip barbell curl; you want to give it a good possibly past your shoulder width, curl it up; flex the bicep, control going down. This will work the outer part of the bicep; you want to do about three to four sets and eight to ten reps on this exercise, control the weight coming up and down. When you bring the barbell up you don't want to bring it up too high; if you rest it up here like this you're not putting too much tension on the bicep so you want to bring it up and then quickly bring it down, just control it throughout; do not swing your back, keep your body steady and that's how you perform the wide grip barbell curl."
