Overhead Cable Curl

Biceps · Cable

How to do it

Stand between two high pulleys with a handle in each hand and your arms extended up and out, slightly above shoulder line. **Without moving your upper arms**, bend your elbows bringing your hands behind your head, squeeze for a second and return. With the arm above the shoulder the biceps finish completely shortened: it is the peak exercise. The classic mistake is dropping your arms to chest height as you tire.

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.
