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

  1. Stand facing the cable machine with a staggered stance and grip the handles attached to the high pulleys.
  2. Start with arms extended out to the sides, elbows slightly bent, and palms facing up.
  3. Curl the handles towards your shoulders, keeping elbows stable and close to your head.
  4. Squeeze the biceps at the top before slowly extending arms back to starting position.
  5. Repeat for desired repetitions, maintaining control throughout the movement.
