How to perform
To perform the Cable Reverse Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by standing in front of a cable machine with a straight bar attachment at the low setting. Grab the bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core and keep your elbows close to your sides throughout the exercise.
3. Start with your arms fully extended, then curl the bar up towards your shoulders by bending your elbows.
4. Keep your wrists straight and focus on using your biceps to lift the weight.
5. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
7. Make sure to control the movement and avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight.
8. After completing the set, carefully release the bar and adjust the weight as needed for the next set.
