Wall Curl

A simple technique which can be used for a number of biceps and other free weight exercises.

START

Perform any exercises such as a normal barbell curl however keep your back against a solid wall, in order to prevent you from leaning back and swinging the bar upwards.

Try and also keep your buttocks and heels close to the wall, as this will prevent any arching in your lower back.

As this method helps isolate your biceps muscles, you should perform with a lighter weight, than you would use for your normal barbell curl.

The level of difficulty for any weight lifting exercise, has a great emphasis on the amount of weight about to be lifted. Always aim to start with a light weight, adapting good technique prior to increasing the weight.
