Exercise Description

The bicep machine curl builds bigger, stronger biceps using a controlled movement. It's perfect for beginners because the machine guides your form and lets you focus on squeezing your biceps.

How To

1. Sit on the bicep machine curl bench with your chest against the pad and grab the handles with an underhand grip 2. Keep your upper arms flat against the angled pad throughout the entire bicep machine curl movement 3. Curl the weight up by contracting your biceps, squeezing hard at the top 4. Slowly lower the weight back down with control, feeling the stretch in your biceps 5. Repeat for your target reps, maintaining steady form on each bicep machine curl rep

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight and strong throughout the bicep machine curl to protect your joints • Don't let your shoulders roll forward - keep your chest up and shoulder blades back • Control the negative part of each bicep machine curl rep - don't let the weight slam down • Breathe out as you curl up and breathe in as you lower the weight

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging your body to help move the weight during bicep machine curl • Not going through the full range of motion - you need to fully extend and fully contract • Rushing through the bicep machine curl reps instead of using slow, controlled movements
