Drag Curl

DRAG CURL

This is a strengthening exercise for the elbow flexors. Hold a barbell with both hands placed shoulder width apart. Proceed to curl the bar by bending the elbows while allowing them to translate behind the body. Do so to keep the bar traveling up along the front of your body (as if to drag the bar up the torso). Slowly lower the bar in the same manner to complete a repetition.
