Description
Barbell Curl On Arm Blasterr is an advanced biceps exercise performed using a special arm blaster apparatus. The arm blaster is a metal plate hung around the neck that keeps elbows in a fixed position and eliminates the possibility of cheating. This provides maximum isolation to the biceps muscle and greatly increases the effectiveness of the movement. It offers similar isolation to preacher curl but has the advantage of being performed while standing. It effectively works both heads of the biceps brachii muscle and is ideal for muscle peak development. The fact that it was one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's favorite movements is proof of this exercise's effectiveness.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
Hang the arm blaster apparatus around your neck and rest your elbows against the metal surface of the apparatus
- 2

Lower the bar slowly and in a controlled manner to the starting position

Keep your back straight throughout the movement and avoid swinging your body
Key Points

- ✓Elbows should remain fixed on the blaster, should not move at all
- ✓Back should be straight and core engaged, posture should not be disrupted
- ✓Only biceps should contract while lifting the bar, shoulders should not engage
- ✓Maintain control throughout the entire range of movement
Common Mistakes
- ✗Leaning the body backward - defeats the purpose of the arm blaster
- ✗Lifting elbows off the blaster - isolation is lost
- ✗Using too fast tempo - muscle connection weakens
