Bodyweight Bicep Curl Towel

The bodyweight towel bicep curl uses self-resistance to train the biceps anywhere. Loop a towel under one foot, grab both ends, and curl against the resistance of your own leg pressing down.

How to Perform

1

Place a towel under one foot and grab both ends with one hand.

2

Curl upward against the resistance of your foot pressing down.

3

Control the eccentric by slowly lowering while maintaining foot pressure.

4

Keep your elbow pinned to your side throughout the movement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Providing inconsistent resistance by not keeping steady foot pressure.

Swinging the elbow forward instead of keeping it fixed at the side.

Using too long a towel, which limits the range of motion.
