Exercise

Cable Curls

With straight bar, upright

Type: Bilateral Rest: 120s Equipment: Kabelzug

Tutorial

1

Stand in front of the cable tower. Position the cable at foot height and attach a straight bar.
2

Grip the bar shoulder-width apart with an underhand grip (palms facing upwards). Keep your back straight and your shoulders fixed (shoulder blades back and then down).
3

Bend your arms forcefully until your hands are close to your shoulders. Keep your upper arms and shoulders in the same position throughout the exercise. Breathe out as you do so.
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 elbow remains 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.
