Using a narrow grip, hold the bar slightly off the ground so your back is straight and not hunched. Lift the bar up toward your body with your back by squeezing your shoulder blades together. Bring the weight up as high as you can, or until it touches your lower chest. Your elbows should be pointing up and slightly out as you lift. Return to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner. You can also do a variation of this with just a barbell on the ground. Exercise image and description by Bodybuilding.com (less)

Do not arch your back, but keep it completely still, no swaying, swinging, arching or curving. Just lean back about 10 degrees and maintain that throughout the exercise. Your elbows should make an arc shape to the side of your body on the way down and on the way up. Squeeze your elbows into your body at the lowest part of the movement and the bar should be on or close to the very upper portion of your chest. The only movement should come from your arms.

L...Possibly the best biceps exercise! With your hands shoulder-width apart, grip a barbell with an underhand grip. Stand straight up with your shoulders squared and with your feet shoulder-width apart. Let the bar hang down at arm's length in front of you, with your arms, shoulders and hands in a straight line. WITHOUT leaning back or swinging the weight, curl the bar up toward your chest in an arc. Keep your elbows in the same place and close to your sides. Bring the weight up as high as you can and squeeze the biceps at the top. Lower the weight slowly, resisting all the way down until your arms are nearly straight.

Keep your elbows locked into your sides. Your upper body and elbows should remain in the same place during the whole lift. Keeping your palms facing each other, curl the weight in your right hand up in a semi-circle toward your right shoulder. Squeeze the biceps hard at the top of the lift and then slowly lower. Do not turn your wrists during this lift! You can also do one arm at a time and/or alternate. Exercise description by Bodybuilding.com (less)

It is very important that once you are set up in position with your back perpendicular to the floor your back does not move. Only your arms should move. From straight out in front of you bring your elbows back and keep them tight into your body. Once they are as far back as they will go slowly let the weight go forwards. Aim for a duration of 1.5 to 2 seconds in both directions. Swinging or arching your back to aid the movement is an indication that the weight is too heavy. We do not move the back whilst doing this exercise because it can damage the small muscles in the lower back. Exercise description by Hugo Saner. (less)
