How to do it
- Stand holding the bar with an underhand grip, shoulder width, arms straight.
- Keep the bar touching your body from start to finish.
- Pull your elbows back as you drag the bar up your torso.
- Lower the bar back down along the same line.
Watch out: Swinging the bar away from your body, which turns it back into a normal curl.
