Main Muscle Worked: Bicep
Other Muscles Worked: None
Equipment: Cable
Cable curl setup: Adjust the cable position so that the pulley is as far down towards the floor as it will go. Clip on a straight bar or EZ cable curl bar. Stand straight up facing the cable machine.
Cable curl execution: Grip the cable curl bar with your palms facing away from your body. Stay close to the machine and stand up straight. Now slowly pull the bar up to the top of your chest. Pause, the slowly lower the bar back down.
Tips: During the cable curl stay as close as possible to the cable curl machine. You want to be pulling in an upward motion not an outward motion.
Through the whole cable curl exercise dig your elbows into your sides and keep them there. This will isolate you bicep muscles. If it feels more comfortable, use a close grip on the cable curl bar.
Don't lean back! Leaning back in cable curls is cheating. You want to use your bicep muscle to move the weight, not your bodyweight! Always concentrate on using strict cable curl form!
