Biceps curls can be done using any of the following equipment: dumbbells, barbell, E-Z bar ..., cable machine, biceps curling machine. Although the exercises differ, a common factor of each is a "curling" motion, where a weight - attached to an item of equipment listed above - is moved through an arc, primarily using the strength of the biceps. The biceps is contracted to lift the weight upward through the arc, to a point where further movement is not possible. The biceps is then extended, lowering the weight back through the arc, to the start position. 3, record 1, English, - biceps%20curl
