SCOTT CURLS

Muscle Worked

Biceps [biceps brachii], Brachial muscle [brachialis] and The Brachioradial muscle [brachioradial].

Instructions

• For the scottcurls, the backs of your upper arms should be completely supported by the cushion on the special scottbench.
• Grasp a barbell with your hands shoulder width apart, palms facing upwards, keep your arms slightly bent.
• Lift the barbell in a semicircular movement to a height where you can still feel the tension in the group of muscles bending the arm.
• Then lower the barbell smoothly back into the starting position with slightly bent arms.
• You can also perform the scottcurls with a dumbbell.

Don'ts

• Keep your back and head straight.
• Your shoulders should rest directly on the edge of the cushion.
• Your wrists should be in a straight line with your forearms for co-ordination.
