How to: Cable Lying Curl
- Lie down on a bench with your feet flat on the ground.
- Attach a cable to a low pulley and hold the handle with an underhand grip.
- Curl the cable towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows close to your body.
- Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Using too heavy of a weight, leading to poor form.
- Allowing elbows to drift backward during the lift.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight to maintain proper form.
- Perform the exercise seated if stability is an issue.
Tips
- Keep your elbows stationary to maximize bicep engagement.
- Focus on controlling the movement throughout the entire range of motion.
