Cable Curl
How to do it
- Set a straight or EZ bar on the low pulley and stand back a step.
- Grip underhand, arms straight, elbows tucked at your sides.
- Curl the bar up toward your shoulders.
- Squeeze at the top, then lower slowly against the cable.
- The cable keeps tension at the bottom, where a free-weight curl goes light.
