ONE ARM CABLE CURL

HOW TO DO ONE ARM CABLE CURL

HOW TO DO ONE-ARM CABLE CURL

1. Setup: Begin by attaching a single-handled cable attachment to the lowest setting on a cable machine.

2. Positioning: Stand with your back facing the cable machine, feet shoulder-width apart, and knees slightly bent.

3. Grip: Grasp the handle with an underhand grip (palm facing up) and stand far enough away from the cable machine so that your arm is fully extended and there is tension on the cable.

4. Curling Motion: Keeping your elbow tucked in at your side, exhale and curl the handle toward your shoulder, contracting your bicep muscles.

5. Contraction: Hold the contraction for a second, then inhale and slowly lower the handle back down to the starting position, keeping tension on the cable.

6. Repetition: Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch arms and repeat.

BENEFITS OF ONE-ARM CABLE CURL

1. Improved Bicep Strength: Targeting the biceps more effectively with one-arm cable curls can help you achieve greater muscle activation and growth, particularly in the weaker arm.

2. Muscle Symmetry: By focusing on each arm individually, you can work to improve symmetry and balance in your arms, leading to a more proportional physique.

3. Increased Arm Development: One-arm cable curls contribute to increased arm development, promoting muscle growth and achieving greater overall arm development.

4. Reduced Risk of Injury: With controlled movements and proper form, one-arm cable curls are a low-impact exercise that can help reduce the risk of strains or other injuries to the biceps.
