Reverse Cable Curl

Instructions

1. 1.Set the weight on one side of the cable machine. Adjust the position of the pulley so that it is at the lowest point. Make sure you are using a straight bar or EZ attachment and hold your hands with an overhand grip (Palms facing down) about shoulder width apart. Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart. This is your starting position.
2. 2.Only moving your forearms, curl the bar up, making sure every other part of your body is stationary.
3. 3.Squeeze your biceps at the top before slowly returning to the starting position.
4. 4.Repeat for as many repetitions as required.

Tips

• Slightly bend your arms at the bottom of the movement to keep tension in your biceps throughout. Prevent your arms from losing tension when you return to the starting position. You shouldn't let your arms 'hang' at the bottom.
• Perform the reps slowly and in a controlled manner.
• Keep your body vertically straight and avoid leaning.
• Avoid using your legs to assist you.

Breathing Instructions

Breathe in during the eccentric (lowering) portion of the exercise and breathe out during the cocentric (elevation) portion.
