Banded Bicep Curls

Activation Warmup:

You need a bench or a sturdy thigh-high platform to lean on when doing the exercise, so secure that first and place a dumbbell on the floor to one side of it. Put your left leg on the bench and grab the far side with your left hand, then bend over so your upper body is parallel with the ground. Reach down and pick up the dumbbell in your right hand with a neutral grip (palm facing you), then hold it with your arm extended, keeping your back straight.

Bring the dumbbell up to your chest, concentrating on lifting it with your back and shoulder muscles rather than your arms. Keep your chest still as you lift. At the top of the movement, squeeze your shoulder and back muscles. Lower the dumbbell slowly until your arm is fully extended again. Do all your reps on one arm before switching to the other side.

Single Arm Bent Over Row

With a dumbbell in each hand (palms facing forward), bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward by bending at the waist. Make sure to keep your back straight and almost parallel to the floor.


While keeping the torso stationary, lift the dumbbells to your sides, keeping the elbows close to the body. On the top contracted position, squeeze the back muscles and hold for a second.


Slowly lower the dumbbells again to the starting position and repeat the exercise according to the training plan.
