What Reverse Curl (Cable) trains
Technique
How to do the Reverse Curl (Cable)
- Stand facing the cable machine with a straight bar attached to the low pulley. Grasp the bar with both hands using an overhand grip (palms facing down), hands shoulder-width apart.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keeping your back straight and arms fully extended down in front of you.
- Curl the bar upwards towards your shoulders by bending your elbows, keeping your upper arms stationary and close to your body.
- Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Exhale as you curl the bar up and inhale as you lower it back down.
- Use a lighter weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger.
- Focus on squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
