elbow flexor builder with your palms facing each other the whole way
the neutral grip puts the brachialis and brachioradialis in their strongest
position, which is why it carries more weight than a supinated curl
the brachialis sits under the biceps, so building it pushes the biceps up and
adds width to the arm seen from the side
Execution
Stand with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, palms facing each other,
elbows close to your torso. Brace your trunk.
curl the weights up, holding the neutral grip throughout
lower them under control to full arm extension
keep your upper arms where they are
pause briefly at the bottom before the next rep
When the weight gets heavy, use body English to cheat it up and own the
negative. Keep going until you can no longer perform the lengthened half of a
rep.
