Cable Biceps Curl

BicepsCable Crossover

Low-cable bicep curl that keeps constant, even tension on the biceps through the entire range of motion.

How to do it

1Attach a handle to the low pulley and stand facing the machine.

2Grasp the handle with a shoulder-width underhand grip and stand up tall.

3Pin your elbows to your sides and lock them in place.

4Curl the handle up toward your upper chest.

5Lower the handle back down with control, maintaining tension on your biceps.

Common mistakes

Swinging your body to lift the weight, taking load off the biceps.

Drifting your elbows forward during the curl, engaging the shoulders.

Dropping the weight fast and uncontrolled at the bottom.

Breathing

Exhale as you curl the weight up. Inhale as you lower it back down with control.

This is general guidance, not a medical opinion. Listen to your body: if it hurts, stop. If you have an injury or a chronic condition, talk to a doctor first.
