  3. Continue to raise the barbell until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbell is at shoulder level.
  4. Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
  5. Inhale as you slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, keeping your upper arms stationary.
