Cable Standing Biceps Curl (With Rope)
A rope curl from a high pulley: facing the stack in a split stance with the arms reaching up toward it, curl the rope ends toward the forehead.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a high pulley with a rope, split stance, arms extended up and forward toward it, palms facing each other.
Steps
- Curl the rope ends toward the forehead, upper arms still.
- Squeeze with the hands beside the head.
- Extend the arms back toward the pulley under control.
Common mistakes
Pulling the rope down to the chest: that is a pulldown; the upper arms stay raised. Leaning back as the stack rises: hold the split stance and a tall torso. Elbows drifting apart and down: keep them pointing at the pulley.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale extending.
