In this clip we're going to use a suspension trainer to do bicep curls. You want to make sure you have a nice strong attachment to your base and of course your angle is going to depend on how challenging your bicep curl is going to be. You are going to grab the handles with an underhand grip, lean back slightly. The most challenging way of course is to have your heels digging into the ground. I am going to have my feet flat because I am trying to show beginners here, arms extended, relax in the shoulders, going to make sure that suspensions are nice and even and then you are going to curl forward. Extend out, you want to keep the elbows close to the body, bring your body towards the center of your base and recline back. You are going to bring it forward and recline back. You want to keep your back nice and straight and flat, squeeze forward with the biceps and release. Try and keep your wrists as neutral as possible and release. If this angle is too challenging you can always back it up a little bit. Using your feet, the further your feet are away from the base in this exercise the less of a challenge it is going to be so for people who are just starting to use the suspension trainer I recommend they start off at this level.
