Exercise Description

Cable curls build bigger, stronger biceps with steady tension throughout the entire movement. Perfect for adding size and definition to your arms.

How To

1. Set the cable machine to the lowest position and attach a straight bar or EZ curl bar. 2. Stand facing the machine with feet shoulder-width apart and grab the bar with an underhand grip. 3. Keep your elbows close to your sides and curl the bar up towards your chest by squeezing your biceps. 4. Pause at the top of the cable curl movement and squeeze your biceps hard for one second. 5. Slowly lower the weight back to starting position, controlling the cable curl on the way down.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows glued to your sides throughout the entire cable curl movement • Focus on squeezing your biceps at the top rather than just moving the weight • Use a slow, controlled motion - don't rush through cable curl reps • Stand with a slight forward lean to maintain tension on your biceps

Common Mistakes

• Swinging your body or using momentum instead of pure bicep strength during cable curls • Letting your elbows drift forward or flare out to the sides during the movement • Dropping the weight too fast on the way down, missing out on the cable curl's full muscle-building benefits
