Band Concentration Curl
The band concentration curl is a band exercise that targets the biceps, with the forearms assisting.
How to do the band concentration curl
- Sit on a bench or chair with your legs spread apart and your feet flat on the ground.
- Hold one end of the band in your hand and step on the other end with your foot on the same side.
- Lean forward slightly and rest your elbow on the inside of your thigh, just above the knee.
- With your palm facing up, slowly curl your hand towards your shoulder, keeping your upper arm stationary.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your hand back down to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
Sets and reps
Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.
Muscles worked
The main muscle is the biceps. The forearms work as secondary muscles. See all biceps exercises or every resistance band exercise.
