Overhead Cable Curl

Technique

How to perform Overhead Cable Curl

1. Attach a single D-handle to each cable and set both pulleys slightly above shoulder height with equal resistance.
2. Stand midway between the pulleys and grasp both handles with your palms facing upward.
3. Extend your arms out to the sides around shoulder height and establish cable tension.
4. Keep the upper arms steady while bending the elbows to bring the handles toward the sides of your head.
5. Reverse the curl under control until the elbows are extended again without letting the shoulders or torso swing.
6. Maintain the same upper-arm position for the remaining repetitions.
