JANUARY--OVERHEAD CABLE CURL (HERCULES)To get nice toned arms it is important to work the bicep muscles at different angles performing various exercises.   Most people love to train biceps; to show off those arms training them and the associated muscles is a must.  This exercise targets the biceps by using a cable machine. 

 

  • Attach a handle (stirrup) attachment to two overhead cable pulleys.
  • Stand between the pulleys with feet hip width, knees slightly bent or in a split stance position (one foot forward, the other behind).
  • Grasp the handles with an underhand grip keeping wrists straight.
  • Hold your arms straight out to your sides so your body is forming a “T” and put your hands at about the same height as the middle of your head.
  • With your upper arm and elbows staying stationary, curl your hands toward your shoulders (as if you are aiming for your ears).
  • Your elbows should not move up or down, and they should not go forward.
  • Squeeze the bicep muscle for a moment while in curl position and then return to the starting position.
  • Repeat.  Do 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions depending on your goal.
