Lying cable
curl allows
you to hit your biceps muscle from a new angle and is especially effective over
the bottom third of the range of motion. Momentum is also minimized
since you're lying on the floor.
Ever see a
water-skier waiting in position, ski tips up and leaning back? That's a
lot like how you start the lying cable curl workout. Sit down in front of a weight stack with a
curved bar (in a rotating sleeve) attached to the low cable. Keep your
body square - the cable should follow your midline - and lie back.
-
Allow your arms to
fully extend before beginning the lying cable curl workout.
-
With your elbows
raised above your upper torso, curl the weight and bring the bar
back toward your face until your biceps muscle are fully contracted.
-
Experiment with
elbow angle and the best distance to bring the bar back so that you
can maximally contract your biceps muscle.
-
Slowly lower the
weight until your arms are fully extended. Keep your elbows above
your upper torso from start to finish during the lying cable curl
workout.
