Drag Curl
Drag the bar up along the body with the elbows traveling back, not forward; the shoulders stay out of it.
How to do it
Setup
Bar at the thighs, underhand grip, shoulders back.
Steps
- Drag the bar UP ALONG the torso, elbows traveling back.
- Keep the bar in contact with the body to the lower chest.
- Lower along the same path.
Common mistakes
The bar swinging out front: that is a regular curl; drag means contact. Elbows drifting forward: they travel BACK, always. Chasing height: the lower chest is the honest top.
Breathing
Exhale on the drag, inhale lowering.
