The Cable Overhead Curl is a variation of the traditional bicep curl exercise that targets the muscles in the biceps and forearms.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Overhead Curl:1. Start by setting up a cable machine with a straight bar attachment at the highest point.
2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the bar with an underhand grip, palms facing upwards.
3. Engage your core and keep your elbows close to your body as you extend your arms fully overhead, feeling the tension in your biceps.
4. Slowly curl the bar towards your forehead by bending your elbows, keeping your upper arms stationary throughout the movement.
5. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position with control.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, and adjust the weight on the cable machine as needed to challenge yourself while still being able to complete the exercise with correct technique.

This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
