The Band Bicep Curl is a strength training exercise that targets the biceps, the muscles on the front of your upper arms. It is a simple and effective exercise that can be performed using resistance bands, making it a versatile option for those without access to traditional weights or looking for a portable workout routine.
First, securely attach a band to something that won’t move or break. Be sure to attach it at shoulder height.
Grab the band in one hand and position yourself at a perpendicular angle to the anchor point. Also make sure you are far enough away that there is no slack with your arm out straight pointing at the anchor point and your palm facing up.
This is the starting position.
From here curl your hand towards you, by bending at the elbow until the arm is fully flexed or as far as you can. After this, slowly return the arm back to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done all the reps on one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetitions with the other arm.
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.
