How to: Cable Drag Curl
- Stand facing the cable machine with the handle attached to the low pulley.
- Grab the handle with an underhand grip and step back slightly, keeping tension in the cable.
- With your elbow close to your side, curl the handle toward your shoulder.
- Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the handle back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Failing to keep elbows stationary.
- Using too much weight, which leads to poor form.
- Rushing through the movement instead of maintaining control.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight to maintain form.
- Perform the exercise seated if standing causes discomfort.
Tips
- Keep your elbows close to your body to prevent swinging.
- Focus on the contraction of your biceps at the top of the curl.
- Perform the exercise in a controlled manner to avoid momentum.
