I've been doing these every other workout for biceps. They give you a HUGE pump and work good for strength gains too.
I grab a mini jump stretch band and stand in the bottom half and hold the other half in my hands along with a curl bar. Really focus on good form. shoulders back, try to only move the arm at the elbow joint. I use a somewhat deliberately slowed eccentric and a deleberate explosive positive "squeeze", don't yank it. The added band tension really gives a unique feel and your biceps get PUMPED really quick. the bands pull the weight down hard and the entire positive portion is more challenging through the whole range of mothion.
Last workout I did 3-4 sets of same weight...hitting 10 reps. 1-2 lighter set of 12-14; and one set of 15-20.
I've noticed strength increase when just doing normal curls from training with the bands.
You'll find you need alot less Sets when using the bands. They fatigue the muscle really quick!!!
