Ring Biceps Curl

Muscles worked

Main muscles
- Biceps Brachii (Long Head)
- Biceps Brachii (Short Head)
Also working
- Brachialis
- Brachioradialis
What it is
Leaning back while holding rings or straps, you curl your body up by bending the elbows, bringing the hands toward the forehead. Walking the feet forward makes it harder. It is a great biceps exercise without weights.
Technique tips
- Lean back with straight arms
- Keep the elbows at shoulder height
- Curl the hands toward the forehead
- Lower slowly to straight arms
How to track your progress
Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
