How to do the Band 45-Degree Bicep Curl

  1. Attach a resistance band at a low anchor point on a rack or frame.

  2. Stand in a stable stance with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing away from the anchor point.

  3. Bend your torso forward slightly, maintaining a straight back, and grasp the band's handles with an underhand grip (palms facing up).

  4. Position your arms at a 45-degree angle from your torso, with your elbows slightly in front of you.

  5. Exhale as you perform a biceps curl by bending your elbows and bringing your hands toward your shoulders. Make sure to keep your upper arms stationary, and only your forearms should move.

  6. Contract your biceps fully at the top of the movement and hold the contraction for a second.

  7. Inhale as you slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, resisting the band's pull to extend your arms.

  8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
