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.
