Primary muscles: Biceps

Secondary muscles: Chest, Shoulders

How to do it

  1. Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your partner standing behind you. Extend your arms straight behind you with your palms facing each other. Your partner will hold your wrists for you. This will be the starting position.
  2. Attempt to flex your elbows, while your partner prevents any actual movement.
  3. After 10-20 seconds, relax your arms while your partner gently pulls your wrists up to stretch your biceps. Be sure to let your partner know when the stretch is appropriate to prevent injury or overstretching.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Seated Biceps from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Biceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
