Video Transcript
What's going on, world? This is Casey Printers with Casey Printers Get Fit NOW Page in facebook.com, and today folks, we're going to work on the curl. That's right, the curls for the girls fellows. You, I know you guys are, are already in tune what I'm talking about; we're going to get into some, some exercises that are going to progress you with your, with your upper body and your biceps that will really really rip them up and gets you really really tone. Let's start. Okay, and we're going to start with the standing curl. Okay. Now, this is the way that I do curls and when I coach it, I really like to take and be really really critical when it comes to your back. That's right, your back. I want you to pinch your back shoulder blades together. Okay. And the reason that I want you to do that is because it isolates the muscles that I want you to use and you get the full full workout for that particular muscle. Okay. So, we're going to start with the standing bicep curl. Now, I want you to start again with your feet. I want your feet to be parallel, shoulder width apart, okay and we take the weight, I want you to pinch your shoulder blades together. Alright. Once you pinched your shoulder blades together, now I want you to open your wrists. Alright. Open your wrists. Okay, you're ready? Here we go. Now, as you start to do your curl, I want you to curl up with both hands, use both hands, take it all the way to the top and then let it down slowly. The reason that we let the weight down slowly when we do bicep curls is because it, it elongates the muscle, making it a long and lean strong muscle. Okay. So, that's the coaching point for all these progressive exercises for the curl. Pinch the shoulder blades together, stand tall, open the wrists and curl up and let it down slowly. Alright. That is the standing curl. Let's go to the seated curl. The seated curl is you're sitting on a bench, okay. It's the same idea, pinch those shoulder blades together, open up the wrists, really curl to isolate that bicep muscle and then let it down slowly to elongate and make the muscles really really lean and strong. Alright. Perfect. Okay, let's move now to the incline curl. The incline curl is you're going to be sitting on an incline bench. Okay. It's going to look about, hmm, probably about 45 degrees. Alright. You're going to sit your, your shoulder blades back on it, pinch them together. Now, the weight are going to be actually lower than if you were standing up or seated. That's perfectly fine. Alright. So, as you start your curl, okay, you want to bring it all the way to the top. Okay. Now, it's a little bit longer going up, but again, it's still working that bicep tendon, it's going to make it explode even more and it's going to bring out the best biceps that you can possibly have. Also, make sure you let it down slowly. Okay. Those are the coaching points for the progressive bicep curl. Let's get it baby.
