Biceps Curl under Table

The Biceps Curl under Table targets your biceps while providing stability through the table. This exercise helps in building arm strength and muscle definition.

  1. Position yourself under a sturdy table, lying on your back.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended towards the ceiling.
  3. Curl the weights towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows close to your body.
  4. Lower the weights back to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the Biceps Curl under Table

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Biceps Curl under Table using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
