Cable Hammer Curl

Description

Hammer Curls using cable are a great exercise to target your biceps and forearms. Here are the steps to perform them correctly:

  1. Attach a rope handle to a low pulley cable machine and stand facing it.
  2. Grab the rope with both hands and hold it with your palms facing each other. Your arms should be fully extended and your elbows close to your sides.
  3. Curl the rope up towards your shoulders, keeping your palms facing each other and your elbows stationary. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement.
  4. Slowly lower the rope back to the starting position, resisting the pull of the cable. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
