Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The cable overhead curl effectively targets the biceps by using a cable machine to apply constant resistance through the movement. This exercise emphasizes the peak contraction of the biceps, aiding in muscle growth and strength development.
How to do it
- Stand facing the cable machine with a staggered stance and grip the handles attached to the high pulleys.
- Start with arms extended out to the sides, elbows slightly bent, and palms facing up.
- Curl the handles towards your shoulders, keeping elbows stable and close to your head.
- Squeeze the biceps at the top before slowly extending arms back to starting position.
- Repeat for desired repetitions, maintaining control throughout the movement.
