Cable Seated Incline Curl

The incline curl with cables: seated back on an incline bench between two low pulleys set behind it, the arms start trailing behind the body.

How to do it

Setup

Incline bench between two low pulleys, seated back on it, a handle from each pulley held palms forward, arms hanging behind.

Steps

Curl both handles toward the shoulders, elbows pointing down.
Head and shoulders stay against the backrest.
Lower back into the stretch behind the body.

Common mistakes

Elbows swinging forward to finish: they stay back where the bench puts them. Shoulders peeling off the pad: stay against it. Stacks slamming between reps: keep a little tension at the bottom.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale on the stretch.
