Stand up straight and grab the bar with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, keeping your elbows close to your body.
Slowly curl the bar while keeping your upper arms stationary, continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.
Hold the contracted position for a second as you squeeze your biceps.
Gradually return to the starting position, resisting the pull of the cable as you lower the bar, to complete one repetition.
Pro Tip
**Stable Elbows**: Keep your elbows close to your body and stable throughout the exercise. A common mistake is to move the elbows during the curl, which can engage the shoulders and back rather than focusing on the biceps. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the weight. The movement should be slow and controlled, both when curling the weight up and lowering it back down. This ensures that your muscles are doing the work, not the momentum, and reduces the risk of injury. **Proper Grip**: Use an underhand grip (palms facing upward) on the cable handles. This is the correct grip for cable curls and will properly engage your biceps
