Machine Curls

Sit and take an underhand grip on the bar with your arms straight and your elbows resting on the padded and angled surface of the table:

- Inhale and curl the bar

- Exhale as you complete the movement

This is one of the best exercises to feel the action of the biceps. This movement also works the brachialis and, to a lesser extent, the brachioradialis and pronator teres. It is impossible to cheat because your arms ar firmly held on the table. The muscular tension is intense at the beginning, so warm up by using light loads. Avoid tendinitis by keeping your arms from extending completely.
