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.
