3. Begin by pushing the elbows forward. 
4. Squeeze from your biceps. 
5. Lower slowly and repeat.

Resistance Band Curls

GOAL
Tricep sculptor  

DETAILS
1. Standing upright with the torso straight and a very small inclination forward, bring the upper arms close to your body and perpendicular to the floor. Slightly push hips back.
2. Using the triceps, press straight down until the arms are fully extended perpendicular to the floor. The upper arms should always remain stationary next to your torso and only the forearms should move. Exhale as you perform this movement.
3. After a second hold at the contracted position, wrists slowly up to the starting point. Breathe in as you perform this step.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Squeeze from tricep
- Proud Chest

Banded Tricep Extensions

Warm up

GOAL
There are more modifications to this than there are girls on your phone. There's no "one way" to curl, just some key principles. Get some blood flow to your biceps #CurlsForTheGirls

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with your dumbbell supine aka palm is facing up towards the ceiling. 
2. Fully stretched out like a kitten in the sun, begin curling one arm by contracting the bicep. 
3. Bring the dumbbell just above elbow height and return to a fully stretched position. Hand can turn in at the bottom if pressure on the elbow is uncomfortable.  

Pro-Tip: Watch that your shoulder doesn't lift the weight. If you start raising your elbows forward and away from your rib cage, that is a sign your shoulder is being a controlling bitch. Instead, isolate that bicep. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Don't Front Raise the Weights
- Initiate from Bicep not Shoulder
- Squeeze
- Full Stretch

Dumbbell Supine Curls

GOAL
This move will elevate every shirt you own. Making those arms irresistible to every human with eyes.

DETAILS
1. Grab a dumbbell in one hand. 
2. Stand tall, ribs tucked. Pretend your elbow is glued just outside your ribcage
3. Actively curl the weight across the chest, keeping the Right Triangle in your elbow. 
4. Think to push the weight back down with your tricep.
5. Repeat. Each rep squeeze that bicep like you're making lemonade. 

CUES
- Elbow Pinned to Rib
- Squeeze That Lemon
- Control Descent
- Wrist Neutral

Across the Chest Curls

Squeeze those triceps until they look like horseshoes 

DETAILS

Dumbbell Tricep Kickback

Circuit A

GOAL
Use gravity and eliminate momentum to blast those muscle fibers to shreds #Shredz

DETAILS
1. Grab those dumbbells in each hand, lay chest forward on an incline bench and scoot up to where you get a good strong position at the top. 
2. While straddling the bench, let the weight pull your arms to a dead hang. 
3. Begin to curl the weight up, only hinging at the elbow.
4. Use your spidey focus to keep the elbow directly below the shoulder and not letting that fucker creep back. Don't shorten the range by pushing the elbow back behind your shoulder. 
5. Now squeeze that ish.

Beware: Beware of web-like material squirting out of your wrists after these curls. So worth it. 

CUES

- Elbow Directly Below Shoulder

DETAILS 
1. Stand facing a Smith machine bar or sturdy elevated platform at an appropriate height. 
2. Place your hands next to one another on the bar.
3. Position your feet back from the bar with arms and body straight. This will be your starting position.
4. Keeping your body straight, lower your chest to the bar by bending the arms.
5. Return to the starting position by extending the elbows, pressing yourself back up.

Circuit B

GOAL
Focus on targeting that brachialis to contribute to arm thickness more so than just your biceps #SecretSauce

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with a neutral/hammer grip and fully stretched arm. 
2. Elbow should be slightly in front of your hip, putting more stress on the bicep. 
3. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

Pro-Tip: Elbows don't flale, chest isn't overly activated, and you aren't rotating the weight at all. Straight up, straight down. 

CUES
- Elbows Close to Body
- Relax the Chest
- Shoulder Blades Pinned
- Squeeze at the Top

Hammer Curls

Bicep builder that develops size and strength

GOAL
Load your elbow and triceps to increase your lockout strength #ElbowStrength

2. Keep your palms facing each other and bend at the elbows so the dumbbells go toward your head, keeping your hands far enough apart that the dumbbells go to your ears.
3. Wrists are neutral and not getting broken by the weight.
4. You can either finish the rep fully or keep the elbow slightly bent and cycle back into the next rep. They both have their benefit. 

Note: you can do this on the floor if you don’t have a bench.
