How to Do Machine Biceps Curl

1. Adjust the machine so that you are correctly positioned. Your upper arms should rest on the padding, and your elbows should be in line with the machine’s joint. 
2. Grab the handles with an underhand grip around shoulder width apart.
3. Curl the weight up as far as possible. Make sure to do the entire movement at a controlled speed.
4. Reverse the movement, and stop just before the weights hit the stacks.
5. Repeat for reps.
