Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program.

In this article we'll take a close look at the biceps curl using a barbell.
MUSCLES TARGETED: brachialis, biceps brachii, brachioradialis
PREPARATION
Grasp the bar with a closed, supinated grip.
