Drag Curl: how to do it and form tips

A barbell curl where the bar drags up the torso instead of arcing out front. Forces the biceps to do the work without front delt assistance.

Form tips

1. Keep the bar in contact with your body the whole rep.
2. Drive your elbows back as you curl — don't let them drift forward.
3. Use lighter weight than a strict curl; range of motion is shorter.
