Tim McComsey, trainer, dietician, model, fitness expert, and Sunwarrior Ambassador superstar, hits the gym again with a straight bar bicep curl that focuses on one arm at a time. This exercise will strengthen your core, but it really isolates that bicep muscle, forcing it to stabilize the longer bar. Use a bar you can handle, like five or ten pounds. You’ll do 10-12 reps on each side. Hold the bar exactly in the middle. You don’t want it to be off balance, twisting and bending to the sides is highly discouraged by Tim as this increases the chance of injury and moves the focus away from your bicep where you want it. Keep your shoulders back, your chest high, and your stomach tight. This also limits the chances of injury while giving your core a little love. Exhale up, inhale down, keeping your core tight and strong. Switch sides. You’ll notice that one arm handles this better. That’s pretty normal, since we tend to have a dominant arm with better muscle memory. Don’t let that stop you or slow you down. This workout is here for you when you need it.


“Although the exercises differ, a common factor of each is a 'curling' motion, where a weight (attached to, or used in conjunction with, an item of equipment listed above) is moved through an arc, primarily using the strength of the biceps.
The fullest range of motion is when the elbows begin in full extension, in a supine grip. The biceps contract to lift the weight upward through an arc, to a point where further movement is not possible. Some lifters also do partial reps (such as in "21s") focusing on the top or bottom position.
Some think it is important that the elbow remain next to the body during this motion to keep stress on the biceps. Others will either bring the elbows forward (to fully shorten the biceps) or bring the elbows back (a "drag curl", to avoid over-active insufficiency and keep parallel forearms) to vary the tensions placed on the biceps and other elbow flexors.”
