Cable Drag Curl
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The cable drag curl effectively targets the biceps by keeping constant tension on the muscles throughout the movement. Unlike standard curls, the elbows are pulled back, engaging the muscles differently and promoting muscle growth and strength.
How to do it
- 1. Stand in front of the cable machine with a handle attachment set low.
- 2. Grip the handle with palms facing up and elbows close to your body.
- 3. Pull the handle up by dragging elbows back, keeping the handle close to your body.
- 4. Squeeze the biceps at the top, then slowly lower back down.
- 5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
