Exercise Description

The seated cable curl builds bigger, stronger biceps with steady resistance throughout the entire movement. It's perfect for isolating your arms and adding serious size.

How To

1. Set the cable pulley to the lowest position and attach a straight bar or EZ curl bar. 2. Sit on a bench facing the cable machine, grab the bar with an underhand grip, shoulder-width apart. 3. Keep your back straight and core tight. Let your arms hang straight down to start your seated cable curl. 4. Curl the bar up by squeezing your biceps, keeping your elbows close to your sides. 5. Slowly lower the bar back down with control, feeling the stretch in your biceps.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows pinned to your sides during the entire seated cable curl movement. • Squeeze your biceps hard at the top and control the weight down slowly. • Don't let the weight stack touch between reps to keep constant tension on your muscles. • Focus on the mind-muscle connection - really feel your biceps doing the work during each seated cable curl rep.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging your body to help lift the bar during seated cable curl. • Moving your elbows forward or letting them flare out to the sides. • Rushing through the movement instead of controlling both the up and down portions of each seated cable curl.
