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 3, English, - biceps%20curl

«Montée latérale sur banc» : Puisque la traduction la plus répandue de «step-up» est «montée sur banc», il serait logique que le meilleur équivalent du terme «lateral step-up» soit «montée latérale sur banc». Malheureusement, nous n'avons trouvé aucune occurrence de ce terme, nous n'avons trouvé que le terme «montée latérale sur marche», à partir duquel nous avons donc créé «montée latérale sur banc». 1, record 5, French, - mont%C3%A9e%20lat%C3%A9rale%20sur%20banc
