Technique

How to perform Band Bicep Curl

  1. Stand on the middle of a resistance band with your feet about hip-width apart and hold the band in an overhand grip or grab a handle in each hand.
  2. Stand tall with your arms extended, elbows close to your sides, and enough band tension to remove slack.
  3. Keep your upper arms still and supinate your wrists as you curl your hands toward your shoulders by bending your elbows.
  4. Pause briefly at the top and squeeze your biceps without letting your elbows drift forward or your shoulders rise.
  5. Lower your hands under control until your elbows are fully extended while maintaining tension on the band.
  6. Repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
