Instructions

1. Setting Up the Equipment:
- Adjust the cable machine to the lowest setting.
- Attach a straight bar or stirrup handle to the cable.
- Position the adjustable bench at an incline of about 30 to 45 degrees.

2. Positioning:
- Sit on the inclined bench, ensuring your back is supported.
- Position your feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart.
- Grasp the handle with one hand (palm facing up), keeping your arm extended down toward the floor.

3. Starting Position:
- Lean back slightly against the bench to maintain stability.
- Your elbow should be close to your side, fully extended but not locked, holding the cable handle securely.

4. Movement:
- Slowly curl the handle up to your shoulder while keeping your elbow stationary.
- Focus on squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the curl.

5. Returning to Starting Position:
- Lower the handle back to the starting position in a controlled manner, fully extending your arm.
- Repeat the curl for the desired number of repetitions.

6. Tips:
- Keep your movements slow and controlled to focus on muscle engagement.
- Avoid using momentum; isolate the bicep during the curl.
- Ensure to breathe out as you curl up and breathe in as you lower the weight.

7. Repetitions and Sets:
- Aim for 8-12 repetitions for 2-4 sets, depending on your fitness level.

8. Switching Arms:
- After completing your repetitions on one arm, switch to the other arm and repeat the steps.

Remember to start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form and technique before progressively increasing the resistance.
