Technique

How to perform Suspension Trainer Biceps Curl

  1. Face the anchor and hold both handles with palms upward.
  2. Lean back with the straps taut and your body aligned from head to heels; use a more upright angle to reduce resistance.
  3. Keep your upper arms in their starting position relative to your torso as you bend the elbows.
  4. Bring the handles toward your forehead without pulling the elbows backward or folding at the hips.
  5. Straighten the elbows under control to lower your body, then repeat with the same upper-arm position.
