HOW TO DO CABLE CONCENTRATION CURL
CABLE CONCENTRATION CURL
The cable concentration curl is a variation of the dumbbell concentration curl exercise using a cable machine with a handle attachment. Here's how to perform it and its benefits:
HOW TO DO:
Set up the cable machine: Attach a single handle to a low pulley on the cable machine.
Sit on a bench: Sit on a bench with feet flat on the ground, legs shoulder-width apart. Place the working arm’s elbow on the inside of your thigh, palm facing up.
Grab the cable handle: Grasp the handle with an underhand grip (palm facing up) and let your arm hang straight down, fully extended.
Curl the handle: Keeping upper arm stationary, exhale and curl the cable handle toward your shoulder, focusing on contracting your biceps muscles.
Lower the handle: Inhale and slowly lower the handle back to the starting position, maintaining upper arm position.
Repeat: Complete desired reps with one arm before switching to the other arm.
BENEFITS:
Isolation of the biceps: Provides constant resistance, isolating the biceps throughout the movement for muscle growth, strength, and size.
Improved muscle symmetry: Unilateral exercise helps correct size or strength imbalances between left and right biceps, ensuring each receives equal attention for improved symmetry.
The cable concentration curl is effective for targeting and strengthening the biceps muscles while minimizing involvement of other muscle groups, enhancing muscle isolation and symmetry.
