Partner Resistance Exercises: Bicep Curls

Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to show you how to work your biceps on the way up and triceps the back of the arm on the way down. So biceps two headed muscle in the front, triceps the three headed muscle, the antagonist muscle in back. And making sure that your partner has their elbows into the side, palms turned up of course to work the biceps. So we'll start in a down position and then resist up. Now make sure you're not applying force to the wrist joint but the palms are straight out and supported, elbows into the sides. And you're just, like you would with dumbbells, a bicep curl, and pull up. And you're actually going to get resistance here too as the one applying it. Making sure your shoulder stays soft and your neck and back are supported. And resist up with the biceps and resist down with the triceps. And making sure that the wrist joints does not become involved in the movement. That all the focus is right here in the front of the arm and the back of the arm. Working ten to twelve reps, eight to ten for beginners, ten to twelve after that and three sets to fatigue."
