How to: Cable Squatting Curl

  1. Start by positioning yourself in front of a cable machine with the cable set at the lowest setting.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the cable handle with an underhand grip.
  3. Engage your core and squat down while simultaneously curling the cable towards your shoulder.
  4. Keep your elbows close to your body and avoid leaning back.
  5. Return to the starting position by lowering the weight and standing back up.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes

  • Not engaging the core for support.
  • Using too much momentum instead of controlled motion.
  • Lifting the elbows too high during the curl.

Modifications

  • Perform the exercise seated if standing is challenging.
  • Use lighter weights to focus on form and avoid strain.

Tips

  • Keep your core engaged to maintain stability during the squat.
  • Control the movement to prevent swinging and use of momentum.
  • Ensure the cable is set at the appropriate height for optimal resistance.
