Cable Curls

With SZ bar, horizontal

Type: Bilateral Rest: 120s Equipment: Bank, Kabelzug

Tutorial

1

Take a weight bench and place it with the foot end in front of the cable tower. Position the cable pull slightly higher than knee height and attach a pull-up bar.
2

Lie on your back on the weight bench and press your feet firmly into the floor. Your feet are at the end where the cable tower is located. Grasp the bar with both hands shoulder-width apart in an underhand grip (palms facing upwards).
3

Bend your arms forcefully until your hands are close to your shoulders. Exhale as you do this.
4

Extend your arms slowly and in a controlled manner until they are stretched out again in the starting position. Breathe in as you do so.
5

One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.

Tip

It is important to maintain good form throughout the exercise and ensure that the elbows remain close to the body. Also make sure to perform the movement slowly and in a controlled manner to maximize tension on the biceps and avoid injury. Use the full range of motion and keep the wrist straight and stable so as not to overload the forearm. Only work from the biceps muscles.
