One Arm Cable Curl


Pro Tip

If the handle you select is uncomfortable to grip, you can always substitute it for a more comfortable one.


How To

  1. Stand upright facing the machine holding the cable at shoulder-width with an underhand grip and your other hand resting behind your back.
  2. Exhale and curl the cable up in the direction of your shoulder, avoiding using your legs or back to lift, and keeping your upper arm by your side.
  3. Continue curling the cable with your upper arm by your side until it reaches the level of your shoulder and you cannot curl it any further.
  4. Inhale and lower the cable down, returning it to the starting position.
  5. After all reps are completed, switch sides and repeat the movement. 10 reps prescribed means you should perform 10 reps on each side (20 total).
