How to do it

Keep your shoulder blades pulled down throughout the entire set.

  1. 1

    Attach a straight bar to a low pulley cable machine and select the desired weight.

  2. 2

    Stand facing the machine and grasp the bar with an overhand grip (palms facing down) at shoulder width.

  3. 3

    Keep your elbows close to your body and bend them to 90 degrees, so your forearms are parallel to the floor.

  4. 4

    Without moving your arms, curl the bar towards your body by extending your wrists.

  5. 5

    Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your elbows stationary and wrists straight to isolate the forearm muscles effectively.
