Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Doorway Biceps Curl.
A bodyweight biceps exercise using a doorframe for resistance. You grip the door frame at about hip height, lean back to create tension, then curl your body toward the frame. No equipment is needed beyond a standard doorway, making it an effective option for home training.
The Doorway Biceps Curl is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
