Hold the contraction at the top for 1-2 seconds. 4. Slowly lower your arms back to starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Breath Control
Exhale as you curl your arms up and inhale as you lower them back down.

Comments and tips
Focus on keeping your elbows still throughout the movement to target the biceps effectively. Use a resistance band that provides enough challenge but allows you to maintain proper form.
Cautions
Avoid using momentum to curl the bands, as this can put unnecessary strain on the joints. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately.
