Step 1:

Adjust the seat to the correct height and then position yourself in to the machine.

Select an appropriate weight and place your feet flat on the floor.

Step 3:

Take hold of the curl bar with an underhand grip and rest the backs of your arms on to the sloping padded table.

Step 4:

Your chest should be snug against the top edge of the padded table and your arms extended.

Step 5:

Inhale and curl the bar upwards by bending at the elbows.

Step 6:

At the top of the movement, pause briefly, exhale and return to the start position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Top Tip:

When extending the arms to return to the start position, don't lock them out fully.
Always keep a slight bend in the elbows to prevent over stressing the tendons.
