Suspended Curl

Suspended Curl is an upper body exercise that targets your biceps. To perform this exercise, you must adjust the straps of the suspension system to chest height and grasp the handles with an underhand grip. Then, keeping your body rigid, lean back and allow your elbows to straighten. From here, you should flex your elbows and pull yourself upward, using only your biceps to execute the motion. Finally, pause at the top of the motion before returning to the starting position.

1. Start by adjusting the straps of the suspension system to put the handles at chest height.
2. Stand facing the suspension system and grasp the handles with an underhand grip (palms facing upwards).
3. Ensure that your body is rigid and straight, and then lean back while keeping your elbows straight. This will be your starting position.
4. Flex your elbows and pull yourself upward, using only your biceps to execute the exercise. Avoid cheating or compensating by using other muscles.
5. At the top of the motion, pause for a moment to squeeze your biceps, and then slowly lower yourself back to the starting position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
