Exercise Description

The lying high pulley cable curl builds bigger, stronger biceps with constant tension. This angle hits your biceps differently than standing curls for better muscle growth.

How To

1. Set up a bench under high cable pulleys and attach handles to both sides 2. Lie flat on the bench and grab both handles with arms extended out to your sides 3. Keep your upper arms still and curl the handles toward your head by squeezing your biceps 4. Hold the peak contraction for a second while performing the lying high pulley cable curl 5. Slowly lower back to starting position and repeat for your lying high pulley cable curl set

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pressed down into the bench throughout the lying high pulley cable curl movement • Don't let your upper arms move - only your forearms should curl the weight • Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of each rep • Control the weight on the way down for maximum muscle tension during your lying high pulley cable curl

Common Mistakes

• Letting your shoulders roll forward instead of staying flat on the bench during lying high pulley cable curl • Moving your upper arms instead of keeping them locked in position • Using too much weight and swinging the cables rather than controlling the lying high pulley cable curl movement
