Instructions:

  • 2Stand facing the machine, grasp the rope with palms up or facing towards each other
  • 3Pull the rope towards your shoulders, bending at the elbows
  • 4Pause for a moment at the top and squeeze your bicep muscles
  • 5Lower the rope back down in a slow, controlled manner

Tips:

  • Try to keep your elbows stationary and close to your body to target your biceps
  • Avoid using your shoulders or back to lift the weight, the movement should be concentrated in your arms
  • Perform this exercise in a slow and controlled manner, focusing on the muscle contraction and not on the weights
  • Make sure to breathe properly: exhale as you curl the rope towards your shoulders and inhale as you lower it back down
