How to perform Cable Reverse Curl with proper form
Setup
- Equipment: Use a cable machine with a straight bar attachment.
- Adjustment: Set the pulley at the lowest setting.
- Grip: Stand facing the cable machine, grasp the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
Execution
- Positioning: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the bar with arms extended down at your sides.
- Engage: Keep your elbows close to your body, maintaining a slight bend in your knees.
- Curl: Pull the bar upwards by flexing your elbows, keeping your wrists straight. Lift until your forearms are vertical.
- Control: Slowly lower the bar back to the start position, maintaining tension in your biceps and muscles of the forearm.
Tips
- Avoid swinging or using momentum; focus on controlled movements.
- Keep your back straight and core engaged throughout the exercise.
- Adjust the weight accordingly to maintain form.
