Standing cable curls

by admin
RoleBiceps, Cables, intensity, Size, workout

The cable variation of the basic barbell move. Great for keeping tension on the biceps throughout the whole range of motion, you sacrifice a little weight for a lot more focus on the target muscle. Intense pumps.

- Much like any standing move, don’t throw the weight around using your lower back. Instead, brace your core, lock your body into position, and use the muscles you are working out.
- Avoid a full lockout. Squeeze the biceps briefly at the top of the move.
- Don’t let the weight pull your shoulder blades forward. Always maintain a slight amount of tension in your upper back for good posture.
- Keep your knees flexed, and your chin up (away from your chest).
