Doorway Biceps Curl is a bodyweight exercise targeting Biceps (Biceps Brachii).
Step by step
How to perform it
- Stand in a doorway and grip the sides of the door frame at about hip height, palms facing forward or slightly inward depending on comfort and doorway design.
- Step forward with one foot to create tension in your arms and lean slightly back, so your body weight helps create resistance.
