Instructions

1. Set up the cable machine with handle attachments positioned at the highest level.

2. Stand in the center of the cable machine with your back facing the machine.

3. Reach overhead and grab the handles with your palms facing forward. Your hands should be wider than shoulder-width apart.

4. Step forward slightly to create tension on the cables.

5. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core engaged.

6. Keeping your upper arms stationary and your elbows pointed towards the ceiling, curl the handles towards your ears by bending your elbows.

7. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement.

8. Slowly return to the starting position, fully extending your arms without letting the weight stack touch down.

9. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Make sure to control the weight throughout the entire motion without using momentum to lift the weights. Adjust the weight load according to your fitness level and ensure proper form to prevent injury.
