===Barbells=== [[File:Standing-biceps-curl-1.gif|thumb|223x223px|Cable Curl]] * '''Barbell preacher curl:''' Sit on a preacher bench and adjust the seat height to an optimal position. Keep the back of upper arms tightly attached to the preacher bench with a [[barbell]] hold by both hands. Flex the elbows until they are almost fully extended and curl the barbell towards shoulder until the biceps are fully contracted. Then return the barbell to the initial position for another repetition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://weighttraining.guide/exercises/barbell-preacher-curl/|title=Barbell preacher curl|website=Weight Training Guide|date=July 20, 2018 |language=en|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref> * '''Barbell reverse curl:''' Hold the barbell in a standing position with a shoulder-width reverse grip. Tuck the [[Elbow|elbows]] to the side of the [[torso]] and keep the [[scapula]] pressed, so the shoulders remain stable. Drive the barbell towards the shoulder until the biceps are fully contracted. Then return the barbell to starting position for another repetition. Like its dumbell variation, it targets more of the forearms rather than the biceps. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://weighttraining.guide/exercises/barbell-reverse-curl/|title=Barbell reverse curl exercise instructions and video|date=2016-10-04|website=Weight Training Guide|language=en|access-date=2020-02-27}}</ref> * '''Prone incline barbell curl:''' This variation is also known as the "spider curl"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.exercise.com/exercises/spider-curl|title=Spider Curl|website=www.exercise.com|language=en|access-date=2020-02-27}}</ref> Trainers first need to lay down on an incline bench face towards the floor. Then holds a barbell with a shoulder-width supinated grip. Drive the barbell up while keeping the upper arms fixed to maintain the elbow position. Squeeze biceps to maximize contraction, then drop the barbell to the starting position for another repetition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://weighttraining.guide/exercises/prone-incline-barbell-curl/|title=Prone incline barbell curl instructions and video|date=2017-02-25|website=Weight Training Guide|language=en|access-date=2020-02-27}}</ref> * '''Drag curl:''' Hold the barbell with shoulder-width underhand grip in a standing position. In this variation, the elbow doesn't need to be fixed. Instead, elbow [[Anatomical terms of motion|flexion]] is the fundamental idea. Drive the barbell vertically up towards shoulder while elbows travel back as elbow flex. Then drive elbows forward when the forearms are beyond the chest. Raise the forearms until they are [[perpendicular]] to the torso, then drop the barbell back to the starting position for another repetition.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Biceps/BBDragCurl|title=ExRx.net : Barbell Drag Curl|website=www.exrx.net|access-date=2020-02-27}}</ref> *'''EZ bar curl:''' This exercise is performed like a normal barbell curl however a lifter would place their arms on the indents of the bar. Some find this grip to help with wrist pain, however it does take the wrist slightly out of supination, which would engage the Brachialis muscle slightly.
