How to do Barbell Reverse Curls Arm Exercises

Video Transcript

Hi! I’m Manny Castro, Exercise Physiologist. With this arm exercise, we’re going to target both the biceps and also the forearms. Really, what we’re targeting is the brachialis, and we’re also targeting the outer biceps. This is called a reverse grip barbell curl. Really, it’s similar to the barbell curl, the regular standing barbell curl. The only difference is that your grip is now reversed. Instead of having an underhand grip, you’re using an overhand grip. Your thumb should be wrapped around the bar. What you’re doing to do is bring the bar up, in the same curling fashion as the other exercise. Again, your elbows are staying close to your body. In this particular exercise, you want to start off really light. Again, if you start with light weights, you’re going to do higher repetitions. So I recommend 12-15 repetitions to start. Then you want to come down as you get stronger.
