Technique
How to do the Bicep Curl (Suspension)
- Set the suspension straps to mid-length and stand facing the anchor point. Grasp the handles with an underhand grip (palms facing up) and lean back with your arms extended and your body in a straight line.
- Keeping your elbows high and stationary, curl your body up toward the handles by bending your elbows and contracting your biceps.
- Pull until your hands are near your temples, keeping your body straight from head to heels.
- Slowly extend your arms to lower your body back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your body rigid from head to heels; do not let your hips sag or pike.
- Keep your elbows up and fixed in place so the movement comes from your biceps, not your shoulders.
- Walk your feet closer to the anchor point to increase difficulty, or further away to decrease it.
- Exhale as you curl up and inhale as you lower back down.
