Form Cues

  • Attach a straight bar to a low cable pulley.

  • Stand facing the cable with the bar held at thigh level.

  • Grip the bar with an overhand (pronated) grip, shoulder-width.

  • Start with arms extended, knuckles pointing down.

  • Curl the bar upward by flexing at the elbows while keeping the pronated grip.

  • Squeeze the forearm and brachioradialis at the top.

  • Lower with control to full extension.

  • Keep your elbows pinned at your sides — do not let them drift forward.

  • Use lighter weight than regular curls — the pronated grip is mechanically weaker.
