The Cable Reverse Preacher Curl is an exercise that targets the biceps muscles in the arms. It involves using a cable machine and a preacher bench to perform the movement.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Reverse Preacher Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Set up the preacher bench in front of a cable machine with a straight bar attachment.
2. Adjust the height of the cable machine so that the cable is at the bottom of the stack.
3. Attach the straight bar to the cable machine and select an appropriate weight.
4. Sit on the preacher bench with your chest pressed against the angled pad and your arms extended in front of you, holding the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
5. Keep your upper arms and elbows against the bench throughout the exercise.
6. Slowly curl the bar up towards your shoulders, keeping your wrists straight and elbows stationary.
7. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then lower the bar back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
8. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
It is important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper technique before increasing the resistance. This exercise can help build strength and definition in the biceps muscles.
Equipment required
Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. 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.
