Proper Exercise Technique



Hold a stirrup handle attached to a low pulley machine with your left hand using an underhand grip. Slowly curl the handle up so as to try and touch your hand to your opposite shoulder, really focusing on having your biceps do the work. Slowly return to the start position and repeat with your right arm.

Tip: It is important that you move naturally throughout the entire movement rather than keeping your back completely straight and rigid. It is okay to sway back and forth slightly as you lift and lower the weight as this is a more natural movement and will maximize muscle stimulation. Also remember not to curl the weight to the point where tension leaves your biceps.
