WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS EXERCISE?
When you do your regular biceps curl, you pull your hand upwards through your biceps, but the muscles themselves don’t get any benefits. To make your biceps grow, you need to get them bigger. This is where the lying bicep curl comes in.

WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS EXERCISE?
Standing One Legged Calf Raise with Resistance Bands is a great exercise to improve your strength and flexibility. It works your lower body and helps you to gain strength and power. This exercise is one of the best ways to develop the lower portion of your lower body without the tedious nature of adjusting your body weight and pinning yourself down. The idea is simple: stand up, plant one leg out in front of you, hold a resistance band around that leg and raise your other leg off the ground. By varying the resistance of the band, you can vary how hard your muscles are working, allowing you to progress at your own pace.

Exercise Benefits
The Lying Biceps Curl From A Top Anchor Point will give your biceps a burn like no other! Since your body is stabilised, you’ll be able to isolate your biceps, and the beginning of your reps will be more difficult because the bands start off stretched, producing more resistance.
