Drag Curls


Drag curls begin in the same position as barbell curls. Start by holding the bar with your arms extended just below your waist. Instead of curling the bar up, however, this movement is performed by simply dragging the bar up as high as possible. The bar is only traveling in an up and down motion in this exercise.


After you have dragged the bar up to about chest-level, slowly lower the bar back down to the starting position.



Tips

* The limited range of motion of this exercise works the lower portion of the biceps. As a result, this exercise should be used only to complement barbell or dumbbell curls, not as a substitute seeing how it does not take the biceps through its full range of motion as the previously-mentioned exercises do.
