Suspender Arm Curl

Suspender Arm Curl

Description

The suspender arm curl is performed gripping suspension straps with an underhand grip, then curling your body up by bending only at the elbows. The bodyweight loading on the biceps is easy to scale by changing your foot position. It is a strong choice for bicep training without weights.
