Barbell Standing Concentration Curl

Target
Biceps

The standing concentration curl uses a barbell instead of the usual dumbbell, bracing the elbow to isolate the biceps while standing rather than seated. It's a less common setup since a barbell limits how strictly you can brace compared to a dumbbell, but it still cuts down on momentum considerably. Keep the working arm's elbow locked in place throughout the set.

How to Do the Barbell Standing Concentration Curl

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell in one hand, palm facing up.
  2. Rest your opposite hand on your thigh for support.
  3. Keeping your upper arm stationary, exhale and curl the weight up towards your shoulder.
  4. Pause for a moment at the top, squeezing your biceps.
  5. Inhale and slowly lower the weight back down to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.
