Cable Reverse Curl
The cable reverse curl provides constant tension on the forearm extensors and brachioradialis throughout the entire range of motion. Use a straight bar attachment with an overhand grip and curl toward your shoulders.
How to Perform
Attach a straight bar to a low cable and grip it with an overhand (pronated) grip.
Stand upright with elbows pinned at your sides.
Curl the bar toward your shoulders, keeping the overhand grip throughout.
Lower with a controlled 2-3 second tempo.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Flipping to an underhand grip, which shifts the exercise to a standard curl.
Swinging the body or using the shoulders to cheat the weight up.
Not keeping the elbows fixed at the sides.
