Reverse-Grip Cable Curl

The reverse curl at the low pulley, with tension held through the top.

How to do it

Setup

Overhand grip on the low-pulley bar, elbows pinned.

Steps

  1. Curl the bar up, knuckles leading.
  2. Hold the top briefly under the cable's pull.
  3. Lower with tension to long arms.

Common mistakes

Losing the top hold: the cable keeps tension THERE; that is why this variant exists. Wrists bending back: firm line. Body English: quiet torso, the stack is honest.

Breathing

Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
