High Bicep Curl - Cables

Set the cables up with the pulley above shoulder level and with a single handle attached.

Stand sideways to the cable holding the handle with your palm facing upwards and far enough away that there is tension in the cable.

Draw your stomach in and tight to help take the strain. Keeping your shoulder joint still curl your hand towards your shoulder only allowing the elbow joint to move. Go as far as your bicep will take you making sure that all the movement comes just from your bicep.

Slowly return your arm until it is straight and back at the starting position.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do breathe out on the way in and in on the way out
  • Do keep your upper arm still throughout the movement
  • Do keep the movement slow and controlled
  • Do keep good posture throughout
  • Do keep your wrists straight
  • Do keep your stomach firm throughout
  • Don't hold your breath
  • Don't swing the weights
  • Don't let your shoulder joint rotate
  • Don't shrug your shoulders during the movement
  • Don't lean away from the cables to help the movement
