Muscles Worked

Equipment Needed

Cable Machine, Straight or EZ Curl Bar

How To Perform the Cable Bicep Curl

  1. Attach a straight or EZ curl bar to the low pulley of a cable machine.
  2. Stand facing the machine, grasp the bar with an underhand grip (palms facing up) about shoulder-width apart.
  3. Position your elbows close to your torso and keep your back straight.
  4. Curl the bar upwards by contracting your biceps, keeping your upper arms stationary.
  5. Continue lifting until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.
  6. Hold the contraction for a second and then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.
  7. Exhale during the curl upwards and inhale as you lower the bar back down.
