The standard biceps curl is hardest at the mid-range, where the lever arm is the longest. But for variety we can change that, making the top or peak contraction the toughest part of the movement.

- Don't drop the elbows down. Keep the upper arm in line with the body.
- Perform curls in this position, squeezing hard at the top.
