About

It's a workout that can train your wrist and forearm muscles! If you workout continuously, you can compensate for the tired forearm muscles when you do pulling workouts!

How to Cable Reverse Curl

Starting Position

1. Please stand shoulder-width apart.

2. Grip the bar with your palms facing your body and position it right in front of your thighs.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Please lift the weight while keeping your elbows and shoulders fixed.

2. Lift it without twisting your wrists.

3. Slowly return to the starting position.

4. When lowering the weight, do not lower it completely; lower it just enough so that your biceps do not relax.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Keep your elbows still.

2. Adjust to prevent your wrists from bending.
