Machine Bicep Curl
Primary
- Main muscles
- Biceps
How to do it
- Adjust the seat to the appropriate height and make your weight selection. Place your upper arms against the pads and grasp the handles. This will be your starting position.
- Perform the movement by flexing the elbow, pulling your lower arm towards your upper arm.
- Pause at the top of the movement, and then slowly return the weight to the starting position.
- Avoid returning the weight all the way to the stops until the set is complete to keep tension on the muscles being worked.
