How to perform

Set up for the machine bicep curl by setting the seat height and selecting the weight you want to use on the stack. Adjust the seat height so your upper arms rest comfortably on the padding. Grasp the bar with an underhand grip around shoulder width apart. Bend the elbows slightly to take the weight up and place tension on the biceps. Slowly curl the weight up as far as possible, squeezing the biceps at the top of the movement. Pause, and then slowly lower the weight. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips

Make sure you use a full range of motion by allowing the weight to go as far as possible without hitting the stack. Keep the rep timing slow, and control the weight. If you have a training partner, the bicep machine is good for heavy negative curls.
