Now you not only train the biceps, but place a great deal of stress on your forearms as well. Reverse barbell curls: Same as a normal barbell curl except your palms face downward (i.e. hold the barbell the same way as you would when you do squats). You won't be able to lift as heavy as the stress is more on the forearms and biceps. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

By holding the dumbbells this way, I am able to squeeze harder at the top of the motion. I hold the barbell the same way when I do regular barbell curls. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
