Theraband biceps curls while standing

Position yourself centrally on the band to secure it. Wrap the Theraband around your hands, ensuring it runs taut from your feet to your hands. The arms are almost fully extended. Keep your back upright and slightly arch it in a gentle hollow position to protect the spine. Depending on the type of exercise, grasp the Theraband in either the underhand, overhand, or hammer grip.

Movement execution

To begin alternating Theraband Bicep Curls while standing, lift one forearm upward. The bending occurs at the elbow joint, so the movement is exclusively from the forearm. After reaching the maximum height on one side, slowly return to the starting position. Simultaneously, begin with the other side, ensuring one arm is always down and the other is up. Make sure the arms are never fully extended.

The execution of Theraband Bicep Curls while standing with the hammer grip introduces another variation. The movement pattern resembles that of KH-Hammer Curls. In the starting position, your hands are positioned with the ends of the Theraband either below or at the sides of your body. Initiate the exercise by lifting the forearms upward while exhaling. The movement concludes when the forearms are slightly higher than horizontal. Alternatively, you can pull them directly in front of your chest. Inhale as you return to the starting position, maintaining tension on the Theraband throughout.

The reverse exercise with the overhand grip is also suitable for training with the Theraband. Commence the upward movement by lifting the forearms maximally upward while exhaling. Subsequently, slowly lower the forearms without moving the elbows or upper arms. Breathe deeply and prepare for the next repetition.
