One-Armed Bicep Curl

How to Do It

Loop the resistance band around a STURDY object, threading one handle through the other and pulling it tight.  Stand with left side facing the pole, holding handle in right hand.  Starting position is with arm straight out to side, arm parallel to the ground and palm facing up.  Slowly bend elbow, pulling the right hand towards the shoulder and contracting the biceps.  Keep wrist straight and don't drop the elbow!  Slowly bring arm back to starting position.  Repeat for 12-16 reps and then switch arms for 1-3 sets.    

This exercise works the biceps.
