The Cable Standing Inner Curl exercise is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the biceps muscles in the arms. This exercise involves using a cable machine with a straight bar attachment to perform curling movements.
How to perform
Here are step-by-step instructions for performing the Cable Standing Inner Curl exercise:1. Begin by setting up the cable machine with a straight bar attachment at the lowest position. Make sure the weight stack is set to an appropriate weight for your fitness level.
2. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent for stability.
3. Grasp the straight bar attachment with an underhand grip (palms facing up) and hands shoulder-width apart.
4. Keeping your elbows close to your sides and your upper arms stationary, exhale as you curl the bar towards your chest by flexing your biceps.
5. Hold the contraction at the top of the movement for a brief moment, squeezing your biceps.
6. Inhale as you slowly lower the bar back down to the starting position, maintaining control and resisting gravity.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
8. Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent swaying or cheating movements.
9. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can adjust the weight on the cable machine or perform more repetitions.
10. To target the inner part of the biceps more specifically, focus on keeping your elbows close to your sides throughout the movement and make sure to feel the squeeze in the inner part of your biceps during each rep.
