You want to make sure that your shoulder blades, squeeze your shoulder blades together, engage your core which is your lower back, your abs and your glutes and again don't break your wrist. Your wrist are straight in line. So this is a break in a wrist, this is your wrist in its proper alignment and this is your beginning form so you could see my biceps are completely relaxed here. With a slight bend in my arms, my biceps are actually contracting and they are actually working and that is your starting position and you want to contract it up, hold for count of two and release. That is a bicep curl with both arms. Let's try single bicep curl. To make sure there is still enough resistance in that band, make sure you are stepping on it; no break in that wrist again. For more support of your upper body, you could put one hand on your waist, contract it up, exhale, hold for a count of 2 and release it. Remember not to completely straighten your arm because it completely relaxes that bicep and we want to have it engaged at the concentric movement and eccentric movement which is the release. So contraction and then release and make sure your shoulder blades are engaged. Going to work on that posture while doing bicep curls as well.
