High Cable Curls

Biceps · Cable

How to do it

Stand between two high pulleys with a handle in each hand and your arms out in a T at shoulder height, palms up. **Without lowering your arms**, bend your elbows bringing your hands towards your ears, squeeze for a second and return slowly. With the upper arm at that height the biceps work fully shortened and the peak shows like in no other curl. The classic mistake is letting the elbows drop as you tire: once they fall, it is a badly done normal curl.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
