  4. Engage your core and maintain a stable posture by keeping your back straight and your feet firmly planted on the ground.
  5. Start the movement by slowly lowering the barbell until your arms are fully extended, feeling a stretch in your biceps.
  6. Exhale and contract your biceps to curl the barbell upward, squeezing at the top of the movement for maximum muscle activation.
