Description

The band one arm overhead biceps curl is an isolation exercise that targets the biceps muscle in the upper arm. It helps in developing arm strength and muscle definition.

Starting Position

Stand with one foot in the center of the resistance band and hold the other end with your hand. Keep your back straight, core engaged, and elbow close to your head.

Technical Execution

Slowly curl your forearm towards your shoulder while keeping your upper arm stable and elbow in a fixed position. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement and then lower back to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Ensure a full range of motion by extending your arm completely at the bottom and flexing it fully at the top of the movement.

Variations

You can perform this exercise with both arms simultaneously or alternate arms for a different challenge. You can also use different resistance bands for varying levels of difficulty.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include using too heavy resistance band, arching the back, or swinging the arm during the exercise.

Practical Advice

It is essential to maintain proper form and control throughout the movement. Start with a lighter resistance band and focus on the mind-muscle connection.
