BICEPS

Behind the Back Cable Bicep Curl

BeginnerCable

This cable curl positions the resistance behind your body, which keeps your biceps under load through a strong stretch and a hard peak contraction. That behind-the-back angle isn't possible with free weights and gives the biceps a slightly different stimulus, one that many lifters use to chase extra fullness and detail.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the pulley low, stand facing away from the machine in a staggered stance, and grip the handle in one hand.

  2. 2

    Let your working arm hang behind you with your palm facing the floor.

  3. 3

    Curl your arm forward by contracting the biceps while keeping your elbow locked behind your torso.

  4. 4

    Squeeze and hold briefly at the top of the curl.

  5. 5

    Lower the handle back down under control, keeping tension on the biceps, then switch arms.
