For this exercise, we will use the mini resistance bands, the handles, and the 12 loop stretch strap found in the Backpack Gym’s starter kit. By pulling on the resistance bands, while flexing the elbow we will generate tension that will counteract the movement of our arms.
Keep your elbows stationary and your upper arms parallel and close to your body. Do not swing your body or use the shoulder muscles to perform this exercise. Rely on the biceps muscles only.
For different variations of the exercise, you can switch the wrist grip. A few of these variations are the “reversed grip biceps curls” and the “hammer biceps curls.”
You can also do the lateral or side biceps curls, as well as the frontal horizontal biceps curls by attaching your resistance bands to a door or a wall anchor and raising your arms up parallel to the floor.
