WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS EXERCISE?
Reverse biceps curls with resistance bands are a great exercise because they place an emphasis on the long head of the bicep. This is the muscle that typically gets neglected during other exercises. They also allow you to use more weight than you would be able to lift with just your body weight, which can help increase strength and size. If you are looking to really focus on one muscle group, this exercise is one of the best you can do.
