Cable Seated Overhead Curl (EZ-Bar)

Seated on the floor facing a high pulley, the arms raised toward it on an EZ attachment; curl the bar toward the forehead while the upper arms stay up.

How to do it

Setup

Seated on the floor facing a high pulley, knees bent, EZ attachment held underhand, arms raised forward and up toward the pulley.

Steps

Curl the bar toward the forehead, upper arms still.
Squeeze with the bar just above the head.
Extend the arms back toward the pulley slowly.

Common mistakes

Pulling the bar down to the chest: that turns into a pulldown; the upper arms stay raised. Leaning back to move the stack: sit upright. Arms sagging as they tire: keep them pointing at the pulley.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale extending.
