Concentration Curls are the perfect biceps exercise to get a peak contraction and help build good muscle size.
Whatever weight you are using, this exercise gives you a contraction like nothing else.
Take a look at our video tutorial below where I guide you through the exercise and outline the main technique points.
If you need something to print off and take to the gym as a reminder, the step-by-step exercise technique is further down this page.
Step-by-step exercise technique
-
- Sit on the end of a bench, with a shoulder width foot stance. Brace your non curling arm against your knee
-
- Hold the weight in your curling arm, with your arm fully stretched and your elbow touching against the inside of your knee.
-
- Alternating arms, curl the weight up across your body, supinating your hand as you curl (pinky twisting out) and concentrating the squeeze in your biceps.
-
- At the top of the movement get a peak contraction by squeezing as hard as you can.
-
- Keep your elbow against your knee throughout the movement, work at a 2 sec up, 3 sec down tempo.
-
- Complete on each arm for the prescribed number of reps.
Enjoy!
