Band Cross Chest Biceps Curl
Facing a band anchored at head height, the arms curl from reaching toward it until the hands cross in front of the face.
How to do it
Setup
Standing facing the anchor at head height, a handle in each hand, arms reaching forward and up, palms up.
Steps
- Curl the handles toward the face, elbows staying high.
- Let the hands cross in front of the face at the top.
- Straighten the arms back toward the anchor under control.
Common mistakes
Elbows dropping to the ribs: keep them high so the curl stays toward the face. Leaning back to stretch the band: stand tall and step farther from the anchor instead. Letting the band snap the arms straight: resist it all the way out.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale on the return.
