Barbell Jefferson Curl

Video coming soon...

The barbell Jefferson curl is a workout that primarily targets the Quads and Glutes.

By using the barbell, this exercise adds resistance to engage and strengthen these muscle groups.

The barbell is held in front of the body as the individual performs controlled forward bending movements.

While other muscles may be activated, the focus of this exercise is on the Quads and Glutes.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward, and place a barbell in front of your thighs.
With a slight bend in your knees, hinge at your hips and grip the barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
Keeping your back straight and core engaged, slowly lower the barbell towards the floor by flexing your spine, one vertebra at a time.
Continue lowering the barbell until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings and your back is parallel to the floor.
Hold the stretched position for a moment, then reverse the movement by slowly extending your spine and raising the barbell back to the starting position.
As you raise the barbell, focus on using your back muscles to initiate the movement and maintain control throughout.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring a slow and controlled movement throughout each repetition.

Focus on proper form and technique: Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart and gripping the barbell with an overhand grip. Engage your core and keep your back straight throughout the movement.
Initiate the movement from the top: Slowly begin to lower the barbell towards the ground, starting with a slight bend in your knees. Keep your quads and glutes engaged to maintain control and stability.
Feel the stretch in your hamstrings and lower back: As you lower the barbell, allow your spine to round gradually, feeling a deep stretch in your hamstrings and lower back. Focus on maintaining a slow and controlled descent.
Engage your quads and glutes on the way up: As you reverse the movement and start to come back up, drive through your quads and glutes to straighten your legs and bring the barbell back to the starting position. Keep your core tight and maintain control throughout.
Gradually increase the weight: Once you have mastered the proper form and technique, gradually increase the weight of the barbell to continue challenging your quads and glutes. Remember, it’s important to listen to your body and only increase the weight when you feel comfortable and confident in your ability to maintain proper form.
