Resistance Band Curl

The resistance band curl provides accommodating resistance that increases as the biceps shorten, matching the natural strength curve. Stand on a band and curl both ends to your shoulders.

How to Perform

1

Stand on the center of the band with feet hip-width apart, hold both ends in a supinated grip.

2

Curl both hands toward your shoulders, keeping your elbows pinned at your sides.

3

Squeeze the biceps at the top where tension is highest.

4

Lower slowly — the band provides tension on the way down, so control the descent.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Leaning back to compensate for the increasing resistance at the top of the curl.

Letting the elbows drift forward, which recruits the front delts.

Rushing through reps and not taking advantage of the peak tension at the top.
