Common Loop Band Bicep Curl mistakes
What goes wrong most often when you do the Loop Band Bicep Curl, and how to fix it.
The band is slack at the bottom and the first part has no resistance.
Step on the band closer to its ends or set your feet shoulder-width apart so it has tension from the bottom.
Your elbows drift forward at the end, when the band pulls hardest.
The band gets heavier near the top: keep your elbows at your ribs and lift only as far as they stay still.
The band snaps back and pulls your arms down.
Control the way down and take as long to lower as you took to lift.
