Upper Bicep Curl
This version of the bicep curl puts your elbows behind your body, forcing a deep stretch through the long head of your bicep. Whether you're using a cable or resistance band, it keeps constant tension throughout the movement. It’s a great way to build bicep strength without overusing the shoulders and it supports clean, efficient arm action during the swing.
