Exercise Benefits
Standing Biceps Curls With Resistance Bands using door Anchor is just like Standing Biceps Curls With Resistance Bands, a classic workout. For sure, Biceps Curls With Dumbbells are good but it doesn’t match with Line of movement to Line of resistance hence doesn’t make that impactful. Band curls are better! Since bands provide more tension right from the beginning of your reps you will get the right amount of resistance throughout the movement. It is also a classic isolation workout. Advantage of using door anchor allows you to take heavier resistance bands, leaning forward creates extra angle which allows more range of motion and extra stretch to long and short head of biceps muscles.
