Band Preacher Curl


Pro Tip

If you have difficulty balancing, try widening your stance so that you feel more stable. Continue to keep your arms shoulder-width apart. 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. Squat down with your feet shoulder-width apart while holding onto each end of the band with an underhand grip.
  3. Firmly position your upper arms shoulder-width apart on your thighs, exhale and curl the band upward towards your shoulders.
  4. Continue curling the band upwards until you are no longer able to curl it any further while keeping your upper arms firmly positioned on your thighs.
  5. Inhale and allow your arms to extend, returning them to the starting position.
