Exercise Description and Instruction:
This version of the bicep curl uses a cable instead of a barbell to isolate your biceps.
To Perform This Exercise:
- Attach a short bar to a cable pulley to the bottom of the weight stack.
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent and your abs drawn in.

- Pause for a moment and then return to the starting position.
Tips:
- Keep your elbows in the same position throughout the exercise. They should be drawn in to your torso, shoulder width apart.
