Technique

How to perform Bayesian Curl

  1. Attach one D-handle to each of two low pulleys on a cable station.
  2. Face away from the pulleys and hold one handle in each hand with your palms facing forward.
  3. Step far enough forward for cable tension to draw your upper arms slightly behind your torso, keeping a stable stance.
  4. Keep your upper arms mostly fixed and bend both elbows to curl the handles toward your shoulders.
  5. Stop within your controlled elbow-flexion range without swinging your torso or driving your elbows forward.
  6. Extend your elbows smoothly to return the handles to the starting position.
