How to do overhead cable bicep curl

Coach's Tips

Focus on engaging the outer part of your biceps during this exercise. Keep your elbows stable to avoid unnecessary movement!

Start Position

1. Avoid swinging the handle or using momentum to lift the weight.

2. Be careful not to lower the handle excessively to protect your shoulders.

3. Keep your elbows slightly bent at the top of the motion.

Proper Form

1. With your elbows close to your head, gently curl the handle down towards your shoulders.

2. Contract your biceps when you reach the bottom of the curl.

3. Return to the initial position slowly and with control.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you curl the handle downward.

2. Breathe in as you go back to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Position yourself upright in front of a cable machine with the pulley set high.

2. Hold a single handle with your palms facing upwards.

3. Step back until your arms are fully extended above your head.
