How to: Band Horizontal Biceps Curl
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands.
- Step on the band with your feet to create tension.
- Keep your elbows close to your body and curl your hands toward your shoulders.
- Pause at the top, then slowly lower your hands back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing elbows to drift away from the body.
- Using momentum rather than controlled movement.

Tips
- Keep your elbows at your sides during the movement.
- Focus on squeezing your biceps at the top of the curl.
- Control the band on the way down to maximize muscle engagement.
