Cable Rope Curl

Pro Tip

Focus on squeezing the biceps consciously throughout the entire movement for the greatest effect.

How To

Stand upright, gripping one edge of the rope with each hand using a neutral grip.
Keeping your upper arms by your side, exhale and raise the rope up towards your shoulders by flexing your arms. Avoid using your legs or back to lift.
Continue until your arms are fully flexed and the rope cannot be curled any further.
Inhale and lower the rope back down, returning to the starting position.
