Cable Biceps Curl
Standing at the low pulley, curl the bar or handle to the shoulders; the cable keeps tension at the top where a barbell goes light.
How to do it
Setup
Face a low pulley, straight or EZ attachment, elbows pinned to the sides.
Steps
- Curl the bar to the upper chest.
- Keep constant cable tension.
- Lower to straight arms without letting the stack rest.
Common mistakes
Stepping back and leaning: stand tall near the stack. Elbows floating forward: pin them; only forearms travel. Losing bottom tension: stop just before the stack touches.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
