Overhead Cable Curl

Arms out to the sides at shoulder height between the high pulleys: curl the handles toward the ears and hold the squeeze.

How to do it

Setup

Between the HIGH pulleys, arms out to the sides at shoulder height, a handle in each hand – a crucifix.

Steps

Curl the hands toward the ears.
Keep the upper arms horizontal and still.
Extend back to the crucifix with tension.

Common mistakes

Elbows dropping: the horizontal line is the exercise; keep them at shoulder height. Pulling the head forward: tall neck, hands come to YOU. Heavy stacks: this is a peak-squeeze move, not a load move.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale extending.
