How to do Bicep Curl Machine
Set up for the standing machine bicep curl by adjusting the height of the seat and selecting a lighter weight. Place your upper arms in a rested position against the pads and then grab the handles. Pull the lower arms towards your shoulder and pause at the point of full contraction.
Tips
- Do not move the weights back to the stops until you complete the entire set to maintain tension on your biceps.
- Keep your elbows in line with the rotation axis when starting the movement.
