Instructions

1. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart for a stable stance.

2. Attach an E-Z curl bar attachment to the low pulley on a cable machine.

3. Grab the E-Z curl bar with a close underhand grip (palms facing up) with hands about shoulder-width apart or slightly closer.

4. Keep your elbows close to your torso throughout the exercise.

5. Stand up straight with your chest up and shoulders back, maintaining a slight bend in your knees to prevent back strain.

6. Exhale as you curl the bar towards your chest, keeping your upper arms stationary and only moving at the elbows.

7. Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of the movement for maximum muscle contraction.

8. Inhale as you slowly lower the bar back to the starting position with control to complete one rep.

9. Perform the recommended number of reps and sets for your workout routine.

Remember to select a weight that allows you to complete your reps with good form. Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight, and focus on isolating the bicep muscles during the curl.
