WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS EXERCISE?
Most regular biceps curls use only the arms, but standing biceps curls with resistance bands also involve the back and shoulders. This move allows you to use a greater amount of weight than traditional biceps curls because it makes your upper body help the arms do the work. Building muscle can be achieved with bodyweight-only exercises, so resistance bands will only increase your capacity for muscle growth.

Exercise Benefits
Biceps Curls With Resistance Bands take this classic workout to next height. 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.
