Cable Reverse Curl

Instructions

Preparation

Grasp cable bar with a shoulder width over hand grip.

Execution

With the elbows to the side, raise the bar until forearms are vertical. Lower until the arms are fully extended. Repeat.

Comments

When the elbow is fully flexed, the elbow should only travel forward a few inches allowing the forearm to be no more than perpendicular to the floor to allow for a relative release of tension in the muscles between repetitions.
