Suspension Biceps Clutch

The Suspension Biceps Clutch targets the biceps while engaging your core for stability.

  1. Start by gripping the suspension straps with palms facing up.
  2. Lean back slightly, keeping your body straight.
  3. Pull your body towards the straps, bending your elbows to lift your body.
  4. Hold the contraction briefly before lowering back to the starting position.

How to perform the Suspension Biceps Clutch

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Suspension Biceps Clutch 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.
