How to do it

Starting position

  1. Set the bench to about 45 degrees and loop the band around a bench leg or a low point behind it.
  2. Sit back against the bench and hold the handles.
  3. Let your arms hang down and feel the stretch in your biceps.

Movement

  1. Keep your elbows fixed in place and curl your hands up toward your shoulders.
  2. Squeeze your bicep briefly at the top.
  3. Lower slowly against the resistance and fully extend your arms.

Breathing

Exhale as you pull, inhale as you lower.

Cautions

  • If your elbows drift forward, you lose the stretch. Keep your elbows back.
  • If your shoulders lift off the bench, you are using momentum.
