Band Deep Curl


Pro Tip

If you don't feel tension in the band when you start curling your arms, take a step forward. The band can be wrapped around any stable object if a power rack or pole is not available.


How To

  1. Wrap a band around the lowest portion of a power rack or pole.
  2. Stand upright with a staggered stance and hold each end of the band with an underhand grip.
  3. With your upper arms fixed behind you at a 45 degree angle, exhale and curl your arms upward by bending them towards your shoulders.
  4. Continue until you are unable to curl your arms any further while still maintaining the position of your upper arms.
  5. Inhale and straighten your arms, returning to the starting position.
