High-Pulley Curls

Stand between the pulleys, spread your arms. Grasp the high pulley handles with an underhand grip.

1. Inhale and curl the handles toward your head.

2. Exhale while you complete the movement.

3. Return the handles to the starting position and perform the next repetition.

Notes: This exercise is primarily used to focus on arm development. It works mainly the biceps, particularly the long head that is stretched and then, tensed while your arms are spread. This exercise also works the brachialis.

Do not use heavy weight with this exercise! Concentrate on feeling the proper contraction along the medial part of the biceps.
