Bicep Curl (Water Bottles)


Step 1 - Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding water bottles at your sides

Step 2 - Keep elbows at your sides and curl bottles towards your shoulders

Step 3 - Squeeze biceps at the top of the movement

Step 4 - Lower slowly to the starting position

Recommended Sets & Time:

  • Beginner: 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps, 45 seconds rest

  • Intermediate: 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps, 30 seconds rest

  • Advanced: 4-5 sets of 20-25 reps, 30 seconds rest

What to Focus On:

  • Bicep isolation - You should feel this working in the front of your upper arms

  • Elbow stability - Keep your elbows glued to your sides, don't let them swing forward

  • Controlled tempo - Take 2 seconds to curl up and 3 seconds to lower down

  • Full range of motion - Start with arms fully extended and curl all the way to your shoulders

Modifications:

  • Easier: Use lighter objects or alternate curling one arm at a time

  • Harder: Use heavier objects or perform both arms simultaneously with a slower tempo
