The cable curl is one of the most effective exercises you can do to activate the biceps muscles. Strong biceps are important for several reasons. The major job of the biceps muscles is to help bend your elbows and rotate your forearms.
Key things to AVOID ![📝]()
1. Flaring the elbows. If your elbows leave your sides, you’ll disperse the force on your biceps to other muscles in your upper body, defeating the purpose of the exercise. Decrease the weight until you can perform the movement properly.
2. Using momentum. If your weight is too heavy, you’ll be tempted to recruit your entire upper body to assist in curling the dumbbell up. Ensure that your upper body stays stationary.
3. Only using a partial range of motion. To get the full benefit of a biceps curl, you should curl the weight up to your shoulders and extend your elbow at the bottom.
