We have seen a lot of people that are doing cable curls in bad way. This does seem like one exercise that a lot of people do but few understand what it actually involves. We need to understand the fact that a cable curl is an isolation exercise so huge weights will not aid you that much. You will look good in front of the ladies at the gym (those that do not know much about such an exercise) but your goals will not gain anything. Let us think about how you should actually perform cable curls.

First of you will need a flat bench to be positioned right in front of the cable machine you want to use. A straight bar is to be used in this exercise and you have to attached it to the low pulley cable. Set up your desired pulling weight and simply sit on the bench. The feet have to stay at shoulder width and the grip you will use is an underhand one. This basically means that the palms have to face up. The elbow of each hand must be positioned on your appropriate knee’s inner part. The elbows need to stay in place. You can do this by pushing them towards the outside while you are doing the exercise and at the same time the knees need to push towards the inside. This basically isolates your bicep muscle during the cable curl. Now keep your hands straight and this is your starting position. Now curl the straight bar as far up as it is possible. When you reach the top do not immediately let go of the weight. Squeeze the bicep and SLOWLY get back to the starting position. If you do the cable curl slowly you will notice that your muscles will simply burn.

Now remember that during the cable curl you have to keep the rest of the body still. After all, this is an isolation bodybuilding exercise. If you can not do this then you should lower the weight you are using so that every single repetition is slow and strong.

Ever wondered how those illustrious bodybuilders have that “V” body figure? It is because they have a wonderfully developed Latissimus Dorsi, also known as the Lats. These muscles, which include the Teres minor and the Teres major, occupy a huge part of your superior body so as to grip lots of heaviness and resistance training. It ties in mainly to your rear muscle as well as the rhomboids, which are in the middle portion of your back. Read more »

A bicep workout is never easy and we always want it to be as effective as possible. After all, our arms are really important when we are into bodybuilding and we do want them to look as good as possible. Now how can we make our bicep workout effective? Well, in most cases we need to focus about 2 very important aspects:

1. Weights used must not be swung. Control of movement is very important, especially when you are isolating your biceps muscle.
2. In every repetition you have to make sure that a full contraction of the muscle is reached at the movement’s top. You should squeeze your muscle and hold the contraction before you end up returning to your starting position. Read more »
