High Cable Curl

Form Cues

• Set both cable pulleys to a position slightly above shoulder height and attach a D-handle to each.

• Stand between the two cable towers, facing outward.

• Grab each handle with the same-side hand so the cables pull your arms out to each side.

• Start with arms extended out at shoulder height, palms facing up (supinated).

• Curl both handles inward toward your head by flexing at the elbows.

• Keep your upper arms parallel to the floor and stationary — only the forearms should move.

• Squeeze the biceps hard at the top — this position is the peak contraction for the biceps peak.

• Lower with control back to full extension, arms straight out to the sides.

• This position emphasizes the biceps peak due to the shoulder flexion angle.
