How to do Cable Curl

1. 1 Set the pulley to the lowest position and attach a straight bar, then grip it underhand at shoulder width.
2. 2 Step back so the cable has tension at full arm extension and stand tall with your elbows tucked at your ribs.
3. 3 Curl the bar up toward your shoulders by bending only at the elbows, keeping the upper arms locked in place.
4. 4 Squeeze the biceps hard at the top with the bar a few inches from your collarbone.
5. 5 Lower the bar slowly over 2 to 3 seconds, fighting the cable tension all the way back to full extension.
6. 6 Reset your stance and repeat for 10 to 15 controlled reps without using your back or hips.
