Instructions
1. Set up the cable machine by attaching a straight bar to a low pulley and select the desired weight.
2. Stand facing the machine with feet shoulder-width apart for stability.
3. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing down) at about shoulder-width apart.
4. Keep your elbows close to your torso and maintain a slight bend in your knees to prevent lower back strain.
5. Without moving your upper arms, exhale and curl the bar up towards your shoulders by contracting the biceps and forearm muscles.
6. Hold the contraction briefly at the top of the movement.
7. Inhale and slowly lower the bar back to the starting position, fully extending your arms and feeling a stretch in the muscles worked.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout the exercise to avoid using momentum.
Be sure to perform the exercise in a controlled manner, focusing on the muscle contraction and release, and avoid swinging the weight or using other body parts to lift the weight. Adjust the weight as necessary so that the last few repetitions are challenging but still allow you to maintain good form.
