The Band Concentration Curl is a resistance exercise that targets the biceps muscles. It involves using a resistance band to provide resistance against the bicep muscles during the curling motion.
How to perform
To perform the Band Concentration Curl, follow these step by step instructions:1. Sit on a chair or bench, and place the resistance band under your seated leg, with the other end of the band held in the hand of the same side as the leg it is placed under.
2. Hold the band with an underhand grip, with your palm facing upwards.
3. Place your elbow on the same side leg that the band is under, with your arm fully extended and hanging down.
4. Keeping your upper arm stationary and your elbow positioned on your leg, bend your elbow and curl the band upwards towards your shoulder.
5. Hold the top of the curl for a moment to contract the bicep muscle.
6. Slowly lower the band back down to the starting position, fully extending your arm.
7. Repeat for the desired number of reps on one arm before switching to the other arm.
8. Remember to keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the movement to ensure proper form and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.
Equipment required
Band
Band equipment consists of elastic bands or tubes that provide resistance during exercises. They are commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups, making them suitable for strength training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The resistance levels can be adjusted based on the tension of the band, allowing for progressive overload and customization for individual fitness levels.
