How to perform Cable Reverse Curls

1. Attach a straight bar to the lowest cable setting and stand facing the machine.
2. Hold the bar about shoulder-width with your palms down, upper arms beside your torso and wrists steady.
3. Bend your elbows to curl the bar upward without lifting your upper arms or leaning back.
4. Stop at the end of your controlled elbow-flexion range rather than forcing the bar to a prescribed height.
5. Lower the bar smoothly while maintaining the overhand grip and wrist position.
