Ah, the old barbell bicep curl. The ultimate ego exercise for the ultimate ego muscle. Unfortunately, being such an important part of most (male) weightlifters routine, this move is often done improperly for the sake of looking strong. In addition, this is an easy exercise to do improperly. If you do not do it properly, your biceps will not grow! Follow these directions to get it right!

Begin with a barbell in your hands. Grip the bar with a shoulder length grip and allow your hands to hang down naturally. Stand up straight, but keep a slight bend in your knees.
