The Cable One Arm Curl exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the biceps muscle. It involves using a cable machine with a handle attachment to perform a single arm curl movement.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Start by setting up the cable machine with a handle attachment at the lowest setting.
2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and grab the handle with one hand.
3. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the exercise.
4. Slowly curl the handle towards your shoulder by bending your elbow and contracting your bicep. Keep your elbow close to your body and avoid swinging the weight.
5. Hold the contraction at the top of the movement for a second, then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps on one arm before switching to the other arm.
7. Make sure to keep the movement controlled and focus on using your bicep to lift the weight, rather than using momentum.
8. To intensify the exercise, you can increase the weight or perform more reps.
9. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and maintain proper form to prevent injury.
