How to: Cable Squatting Curl
- Start by positioning yourself in front of a cable machine with the cable set at the lowest setting.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the cable handle with an underhand grip.
- Engage your core and squat down while simultaneously curling the cable towards your shoulder.
- Keep your elbows close to your body and avoid leaning back.
- Return to the starting position by lowering the weight and standing back up.
- 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.
