Band Bicep Curls

DESCRIPTION/INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Hold the handles of a resistance band with your palms facing forward in front of you and your arms fully straight down at your sides.

  2. Step on the resistance band with both feet. The band should be placed around the middle of your foot.

  3. Without moving your upper arms, curl your hands up towards your shoulders, then lower them back down to the start position.

HELPFUL CUES:

  1. Adjust the difficulty of this exercise by changing your stance width. If you stand with your feet wider, there will be more tension on the band. If you stand with a narrower foot position, there will be less tension.

COMMON MISTAKES:

  1. Moving your upper arm as you curl up. Only your forearm should be moving. Don’t cheat!

  2. Not straightening your elbows between reps. Make sure you’re moving through a full range of motion.

COMMON VARIATIONS:

  1. Single Arm Band Curl
