Primary: Arms (biceps brachii, brachioradialis)
Secondary: Back, Abs (erector spinae, abdomini)
With this form of biceps exercise the arm flexor muscles can be very intensely worked out. The body must compensate for additional instability. This mainly affects the legs, hips and core muscles. Beware of high loads.
