Instructions

Last updated: 1/27/2007

Stand in the middle of a resistance tube with feet approximately shoulder width apart. Be sure to have equal lengths of the resistance tubing on each side. Grip the handles so that your palms are face down (reverse grip).

Keep your elbows close to your side at waist level and contract your biceps by pulling the handle upwards towards the shoulders. It is important to keep the palms face down during the curl. Slowly allow your hands to return to the starting position. Repeat the motion for any desired amount of repetitions.

Tips: Be sure to maintain proper posture with a straight back throughout exercise. Be sure to keep elbows stationary and not allow them to swing during exercise. To increase difficulty of this exercise, shorten the amount of tubing left to the inside of your foot, or use a thicker resistance tube.
