HOW TO DO LYING HIGH BENCH BARBELL CURL

LYING HIGH BENCH BARBELL CURL

The lying high bench barbell curl targets the biceps muscles and is performed while lying flat on a bench. Here’s how to do it and its benefits:

HOW TO DO:

  1. Setup: Set up a flat bench and place a barbell on the floor at the head of the bench.

  2. Positioning: Lie face up on the bench, with your head positioned at the end. Reach forward and grasp the barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up) slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  3. Execution: Keeping upper arms stationary and resting on the bench, exhale and curl the barbell upward towards your forehead by flexing your elbows. Contract your biceps and squeeze them at the top of the movement.

  4. Lowering: Inhale and lower the barbell back down in a controlled manner until your elbows are fully extended.

  5. Repetition: Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

BENEFITS:

  1. Biceps Development: Targets the biceps brachii muscles, leading to increased muscle size and definition.

  2. Isolation and Focus: Minimizes involvement of other muscle groups, allowing for focused targeting of the biceps.

  3. Range of Motion: Provides a greater range of motion compared to some other biceps curl variations, leading to better muscle development.

  4. Strength and Stability: Challenges arm strength and stability, enhancing overall upper body strength and stability.

  5. Versatility: Can be performed with different grip widths and hand positions on the barbell, allowing for versatility in training and targeting different parts of the biceps.
