Reverse Cable Curl

The reverse cable curl is an effective exercise targeting the biceps and forearms.

Instructions

• Attach a straight bar to a cable machine and position it at a low setting.
• Grip the bar with a pronated (overhand) grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
• Keep your elbows close to your sides as you slowly curl the bar upwards.
• Pause at the top, then lower the bar back to the starting position.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using momentum to lift the weight.
• Allowing the elbows to flare out.
• Not controlling the weight during the eccentric (lowering) phase.
• Curling the wrists too much instead of keeping them straight.
