Cable Drag Curl
The drag curl at a low pulley: the bar slides up the body as the elbows travel back, while the cable pulls from below and in front.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a low pulley, straight bar held underhand at the thighs, standing close to the stack.
Steps
- Drag the bar up the torso, elbows traveling back.
- Hold at the lower chest for a beat.
- Lower along the body under cable tension.
Common mistakes
Standing far from the stack: the cable pulls the bar away from the body; step in. Elbows drifting forward: they go back. Leaning back to finish: tall torso.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
