Cable Curl
Cable curls provide constant tension throughout the range of motion, unlike dumbbells where tension drops at the top and bottom. Stand facing a low cable and curl the bar or rope attachment.
How to Perform
1
Stand facing a low cable with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2
Grip the bar or rope attachment with an underhand grip.
3
Curl up while keeping your elbows pinned to your sides.
4
Squeeze at the top and lower under control.
5
Maintain an upright posture — no leaning back.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Leaning back and using body momentum.
Not controlling the eccentric — letting the cable pull your arms down.
Standing too far from the cable stack.
