Cable Close-Grip Curl
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The cable close-grip curl focuses on developing the biceps brachii by using a cable machine. This exercise provides constant tension to the biceps throughout the movement, enhancing muscle hypertrophy and strength. The close-grip position emphasizes the inner part of the biceps, leading to better muscle balance.
How to do it
- Stand upright in front of a cable machine with a close-grip attachment at the bottom position.
- Grasp the attachment with an underhand grip, keeping your elbows close to your body.
- Curl the attachment towards your chest, keeping your elbows stationary.
- Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement, and then slowly lower the attachment back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
