Cable Concentration Curl
How to do it
- Attach a single handle to a low pulley, sit or kneel facing the machine, and brace the back of your working arm against your inner thigh.
- Take the handle with an underhand grip and let your arm extend fully toward the pulley so tension loads the biceps at the bottom.
- Brace your core to keep your torso still and stop yourself leaning back as you pull.
- Curl the handle up toward your shoulder, keeping your elbow pinned against your thigh so the biceps do the work through the full arc.
- Exhale as you curl up and inhale as you return to the stretched position under control.
- Avoid yanking your torso backward or letting your elbow drift forward, both of which let the shoulder take over from the biceps.
