Lying Biceps Curl with Towel
Lying on the back with one leg raised and a towel looped over its foot, curl the towel toward the chest while the leg pushes against it; the leg supplies the resistance.
How to do it
Setup
Lying face up, one leg raised with the towel over the sole of the foot, the ends held underhand, arms straight.
Steps
- Curl the towel toward the chest while the leg resists.
- Keep the upper arms on the floor.
- Let the leg press the arms back to straight slowly; switch legs.
Common mistakes
Leg giving no resistance: press it steadily away through the whole rep. Lifting the head and shoulders to help: keep them down. Jerking the towel: smooth, even pressure both ways.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
