Band Concentration Curl
The seated concentration curl against a band with a handle, its other end under the foot; the band pulls hardest at the top, where a dumbbell goes light.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on a box, the band under the working side's foot, its handle in that hand, elbow braced on the inner thigh.
Steps
- Curl the handle toward the shoulder, elbow fixed on the thigh.
- Squeeze at the top, where the band pulls hardest.
- Lower slowly; finish the set, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Band slipping from under the foot: set it under the middle of the foot and press it down. Elbow sliding along the thigh as the band pulls: re-brace before each rep. Letting the band drag the hand down: the lowering stays slow.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
