How to: Alternate Biceps Curl (with band)
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands at your side.
- Step on the band with both feet to create resistance.
- With elbows close to your sides, curl the band up towards your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top.
- Lower the band back to the starting position slowly.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum instead of isolating the biceps.
- Elbows flaring out during the movement.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the curl.
Modifications
- Use a lighter band if resistance is too difficult.
- Perform the exercise seated for more stability.
Tips
- Keep your elbows close to your body during the curl.
- Control the band resistance to avoid jerking movements.
- Breathe out as you curl the band up and breathe in as you lower it.
