How to do it

Breathe out steadily as you curl the handle up and in as you lower it.

  1. 1

    Attach a single handle to a low pulley cable machine and position yourself on a preacher bench.

  2. 2

    Grab the handle with one hand and place the back of your upper arm against the pad.

  3. 3

    Curl the handle towards your shoulder while keeping your upper arm stationary.

  4. 4

    Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.

Expert tip

Focus on a full range of motion and a peak contraction at the top without allowing your shoulder to move forward.
