How to perform Reverse Cable Curl

  1. Attach a straight bar to a low cable pulley and stand facing it.
  2. Hold the bar about shoulder-width apart with your palms facing down, keeping your wrists aligned with your forearms.
  3. Stand upright with your elbows close to your sides and your upper arms still.
  4. Bend your elbows to curl the bar upward without swinging your torso or lifting your upper arms.
  5. Lower the bar under control until your elbows are nearly straight, maintaining the same overhand grip.
