I have been incorporating barbell drag curls into my workouts on and off for over a year now, mind you I had never seen anyone performing these at any gym I went to.
So what I always did was to grab the barbell wide, about 2" wider than shoulder width, slightly bend the knees and bring the torso forward. Rising/ dragging the barbell up to my top abs.
I recently looked them up on YouTube, whilst most people perform them the way I do, some keep the body straight and move the barbell up all the way to upper pecs. I tried that, impossible to lift 80lbs... whereas last week I smashed 20 reps with that weight.
How do you perform barbell drag curls?
