Target Muscle

Secondary Muscles

Equipment

1

With your elbows close to your body, curl your hands towards your shoulders, contracting your biceps as you lift.

2

Ensure you keep your upper arms stationary, only moving your forearms during the curl.

3

Hold the peak contraction for a moment and then slowly lower your hands back to the starting position.

4

Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain the tension in the band throughout.

Pro Tip

Proper Grip: Hold the band with your palms facing upwards and your hands close together. This grip will target your biceps effectively. Avoid holding the band with a loose grip or with your palms facing downwards, as this can lead to improper form and less effective results. Controlled Movement: When performing the curl, make sure to keep your elbows close to your body and move your forearms, not your upper arms. A common mistake is to use the shoulders or back to lift the band, which can lead to injury and won't target the biceps effectively. Full Range of Motion: Ensure you are using a full range of motion, extending your arms fully at the bottom
