Cable Arm Curl

Adjust the seat back to the upright position and the Functional Train- ing Arms to their lowest position. Sit upright on the seat and grasp the handles with an underhand grip. Try to keep your elbows and upper arm stationary while you curl the handles upward, using your biceps muscles. Lower slowly.

Variations: Use an overhand grip, neutral grip, or even twist your wrists. You can also vary the width of the Functional Training Arms. Changing the grip and width does emphasize different areas of the muscle group. As with all cable oriented exercises, this exercise can be performed one arm at a time.

Primary muscles worked: Biceps (front of arm), Brachioradials (fore- arms).
