Exercise Description

The reverse cable curl builds forearm strength and grip power. It targets the muscles on top of your forearms that regular curls miss.

How To

1. Set the cable machine to the lowest setting and grab the bar with palms facing down. 2. Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart, arms fully extended. 3. Keep your elbows locked at your sides and slowly curl the bar up using only your forearms. 4. Squeeze your forearms at the top of the reverse cable curl movement. 5. Lower the weight slowly back to starting position and repeat.

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight throughout the entire reverse cable curl movement • Don't let your elbows drift forward or backward during the exercise • Use a controlled tempo - 2 seconds up, 2 seconds down • Start light with reverse cable curls until you build forearm strength

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and letting your wrists bend backward during reverse cable curls • Moving your elbows instead of keeping them locked at your sides • Rushing through the reverse cable curl instead of using controlled movement
