3. 3Keeping the upper arms still, exhale and curl the bar upward, contracting the biceps.
4. 4Continue lifting until the biceps are fully contracted and the bar reaches shoulder height.
5. 5Hold the contracted position for a brief pause while you squeeze the biceps.
6. 6Inhale and lower the bar slowly back to the starting position.
