Wide Grip Barbell Curls: Another great exercise for the arms, specifically the bicep, is the wide-grip standing barbell curl.
The wide grip barbell curl is excellent for the inner part of the bicep. A grip wider-than-shoulder-width causes you to externally rotate at the shoulder. This grip involves the short head of the biceps muscle much more since your upper arm changes its position.
Perform Wide Grip Barbell Curls:
- Start by grabbing a barbell with your hands at a wider than shoulder width, using an underhand grip (palms facing up), with the elbows close to the torso and the back straight.
- Hold the upper arms in place and curl the weights up while contracting the biceps as you breathe out.
- Keep moving up until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level. Hold for a second at the top position.
- Bring the bar down slowly to the starting position as your breathe in.
- Repeat.
