Band Alternating Biceps Curl
Description
The band alternating biceps curl is performed standing on a resistance band, gripping each end and curling one arm at a time. The bands provide constant tension that increases as the band stretches, building bicep strength with progressive resistance. The alternating pattern increases time under tension on each side.
