Instructions

Standing Biceps Curl (Using a Door Frame)

  1. Starting Position:

    • Stand alongside a door frame, facing it with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  2. Hand Placement:

    • Extend your closest arm toward the door frame at shoulder height.

    • Place your hand against the frame with your palm facing your body.

  3. Body Positioning:

    • Keep your elbow close to your side, and lean slightly away from the door frame to create tension in your biceps.

    • Your opposite arm can rest at your side or be placed on your hip for balance.

  4. Movement:

    • Slowly bend your elbow to pull your hand toward your shoulder, engaging your bicep muscle.

    • Keep your elbow stationary and close to your body throughout the motion.

  5. Return to Starting Position:

    • Gradually lower your arm back to the starting position, maintaining control and tension in your bicep.

  6. Repetitions:

    • Perform 10 to 15 repetitions on one arm, then switch to the other arm.

    • Aim to complete 2 to 3 sets for each arm, resting for 30 seconds between sets.

Tips:

  • Focus on a slow and controlled movement to maximize muscle engagement.

  • Avoid using momentum; keep the movement smooth.

  • Breathe out while lifting your arm and inhale when returning to the starting position.
