Instructions
1. Begin by setting up a flat bench about two to three feet away from a cable machine and attach a straight bar to the low pulley.
2. Lie down on your back on the bench and plant your feet on the floor for stability.
3. Reach out and grasp the straight bar attachment with an underhand grip (palms facing upward), with your hands shoulder-width apart.
4. Keeping your elbows fixed and pressed against the bench, slowly curl the bar towards your shoulders by bending at the elbow.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the curl to squeeze your biceps.
6. Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position, fully extending your arms and stretching the biceps.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring that you maintain good form and control throughout the exercise.
Tips: - Keep your movements smooth and controlled to avoid using momentum. - Make sure to keep your wrists straight to prevent them from taking the load away from the biceps. - Adjust the weight according to your fitness level and goals; start with lighter weights if you are new to this exercise.
