Reps

Description

First, grab one end of a band in one hand, wrap it around something that won’t move or break and grab the other end in the other hand. Be sure to attach it at about your chest height.

You should position yourself facing the anchor point. Also make sure you are far enough away that there is no slack with your arms out straight pointing at the anchor point and your palms facing up.

This is the starting position.

From here curl your hands towards you, by bending at the elbows until the arms are fully flexed or as far as you can. After this, slowly return the arms back down to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.

If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands D-Ring Aids and a Carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.

Resistance Band Bicep Curl Tips:

Focus on only allowing your forearms to move.
Keep the rep timing slow and control the band throughout the set - don't let the band return quickly.

Tips

Your back must remain straight at all times. Your torso should be kept still throughout the entire set.
Don't let your shoulders hunch over when your arms are extended.
Use the back muscles to move the weight - do not lean forward and use momentum to swing the weight back and focus on pulling the elbow back.
Pausing and squeezing at the top of the movement for a 1-2 count will increase intensity and results.

Tips

By not completely locking out the elbows, keep your pecs more taut.
Make sure your shoulder blades are somewhat retracted if you're experiencing pain in the shoulder joint itself, especially at the front, and work to keep your shoulder girdle "packed."
Make careful to keep some tightness in your abs and avoid letting your lower back arch too much.
