How to do it

Control the descent for two full seconds on every repetition.

  1. 1

    Face the suspension anchor and grab the handles with palms facing up.

  2. 2

    Lean back slightly, keeping your body straight from head to heels.

  3. 3

    Curl your hands towards your shoulders by bending your elbows.

  4. 4

    Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your elbows stationary and close to your body to maximize bicep engagement without involving your shoulders.
