Cable

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

  1. Stand upright in front of a cable machine with a close-grip attachment at the bottom position.
  2. Grasp the attachment with an underhand grip, keeping your elbows close to your body.
  3. Curl the attachment towards your chest, keeping your elbows stationary.
  4. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement, and then slowly lower the attachment back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
