Instructions:

  • 1Stand straight in front of a cable machine, holding a rope attachment that is attached to the low pulley
  • 2With your palms facing your torso, keep your elbows close to your torso and curl the weights while keeping your upper arms stationary
  • 3Continue curling the weight until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level
  • 4Hold the contracted position for a second as you squeeze your biceps
  • 5Slowly bring back the rope to the starting position

Tips:

  • Ensure your upper arms stay stationary throughout the exercise to guarantee maximum muscle engagement
  • Avoid using your back or shoulders to lift the weight
  • Perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on the muscle contraction and not on the weights
  • Always keep your elbows close to your torso
