Band Biceps Curl
Standing on the middle of a band with handles, curl both handles to the shoulders; the band pulls hardest at the top, where a dumbbell goes light.
How to do it
Setup
Both feet on the band's middle, hip-width, a handle in each hand at the thighs, palms forward.
Steps
- Curl both handles to the shoulders, elbows fixed at the sides.
- Hold the top, where the band is tightest, for a beat.
- Lower slowly against the band to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Band sliding toward the toes: keep it under the middle of the feet. Elbows pulled forward by the band at the top: pin them to the ribs. Letting the band snap the arms down: the way down is half the rep, so control it.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
