How To Perform the Machine Bicep Curl

  1. Adjust the seat height so that your upper arms rest comfortably on the pad and align the machine's pivot with your elbows.
  2. Sit down and firmly grasp the handles with an underhand grip (palms facing up).
  3. Keep your back straight and feet flat on the floor, ensuring a stable base.
  4. Exhale and curl the handles upwards by contracting your biceps, bringing your forearms towards your shoulders.
  5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your biceps.
  6. Inhale and slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining controlled and smooth movements throughout.
