I like to perform these near the end of my biceps routine. They hit the biceps from a different angle than other exercises and will really help bulk up your forearms.
Performance: Stand upright with your back and head straight, knees slightly bent. Grasp a barbell with an overhand grip about a shoulder width apart. Slowly raise the weight with your elbows tight into your body, feeling the contraction in your biceps and forearms. Once the weight has reached the top, slowly lower it with control back to the starting position. These can also be performed using an E-Z curl bar if your wrists bother you.
Muscle Emphasis: brachioradialis, brachialis, biceps brachii
