Semi Reverse Curl

This is a good exercise for developing your biceps and forearms muscles, and can be performed either standing or seated.

HAND GRIP	SIDE START	SIDE FINISH

Using only a lightly weighted barbell, grasp the bar in an overhand grasp, placing your thumbs underneath to secure the hold.

Throughout the movement focus on keeping your shoulders down, whilst your elbows are extended behind you, so that the bar is lifted and lowered close to your abdominals muscles. You will only need to perform a partial movement, rather than taking the bar all the way up.

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.
