Plate Biceps Curl
Holding a plate by its rim in both hands, curl it to the chest; the pinch grip loads the forearms alongside the biceps.
How to do it
Setup
Hold a plate by the rim at 3 and 9 o'clock, arms long.
Steps
- Curl the plate to the chest.
- Keep the pinch grip firm.
- Lower to long arms without resting the plate.
Common mistakes
Grip dying before the biceps: that IS part of the exercise; smaller plate, more reps. Elbows winging out: in at the sides. Leaning back: quiet torso.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
