How to: Band Biceps Curl
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands.
- Step on the band with both feet to create tension.
- Keep your elbows close to your sides and curl your hands towards your shoulders.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back to the start position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing elbows to drift forward or backward.
- Using momentum instead of relying on bicep strength.
- Not fully extending or contracting the arms.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise with a lighter resistance band to accommodate strength levels.
- Complete the exercise seated to reduce strain on the lower back.
Tips
- Keep your elbows close to your torso throughout the movement.
- Avoid swinging your body; use controlled movements for better muscle engagement.
- Focus on the contraction of the biceps at the top of the curl.
