How to do the bayesian curl (cable)
- 1
Set a cable pulley to the lowest position, stand facing away from the stack, and take a step forward. Hold the handle in one hand behind you, with your arm straight down and slightly back.
- 2
Curl the handle up toward your shoulder, keeping your upper arm slightly behind your body. Squeeze your biceps at the top.
- 3
Lower slowly until your arm is straight again, feeling a stretch in your biceps. Breathe out as you curl and in as you lower. Switch arms after your set.
Form tip: Keep your elbow behind your torso and avoid swinging forward; go light because the stretch is strong.
