barbell curl

Arm flexion lift

A barbell curl is a weight training exercise targeting the biceps.

The lifter grips a barbell with palms facing upward and, keeping the upper arms stationary, curls the weight toward the shoulders by bending at the elbows: I added ten pounds to my barbell curls this month.

Also called a standing barbell curl or simply a curl.
