High Cable Curls

What it is

This movement effectively targets your biceps using a set of high cable pulleys. You will perform a curling motion, emphasizing muscle isolation for improved strength and definition. It provides a unique contraction angle to develop your arm muscles.

Technique tips

• Start with your upper arms parallel to the floor.
• Keep your palms facing you to maximize bicep activation.
• Only your forearms should move; keep upper arms completely stationary.
• Exhale as you squeeze your biceps at the top of the curl.
• Control the weight's return, slowly extending your arms back to start.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
