Zirv FitnessStrength exercise
Cable Bicep Curl (Bar)
How to do it
- Attach a straight bar to the low pulley and stand facing the cable machine with feet planted hip width apart.
- Take a shoulder width grip on the bar with palms facing up and elbows close to your ribs.
- Brace your core and keep your torso still, resisting the pull of the cable forward.
- Curl the bar in a fixed arc up toward your chest, keeping both elbows locked in place and driving the contraction through the biceps.
- Exhale through the lift and inhale on a slow, even lower back to full extension.
- Avoid using a fast, bouncing tempo; keep each rep at the same controlled speed on the way up and down.
