Cable Standing Biceps Curl to Arnold Press
Two low cables curled to the shoulders and pressed overhead with the Arnold turn in one rep; the cables load both halves.
How to do it
Setup
Standing between two low pulleys, a handle in each hand, arms straight, palms forward.
Steps
- Curl both handles to the shoulders, palms turning toward you.
- Press them overhead, turning the palms forward as the arms straighten.
- Reverse the press to the shoulders, then lower to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Swinging the curl with the hips: keep the elbows at the sides and the body still. Pressing before the curl is finished: bring the hands to the shoulders first. Leaning back under the press: brace and keep the ribs down.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl and the press, inhale lowering.
