Bayesian Cable Curl

exercise_detail.description

The Bayesian Cable Curl is an isolation exercise targeting the biceps, performed using a cable machine. This exercise emphasizes the stretch and contraction of the biceps by maintaining constant tension throughout the movement. It is ideal for enhancing bicep peak and overall arm development.

exercise_detail.how_to_perform

1. Set the cable machine to a low pulley position and attach a single handle.
2. Stand facing away from the machine, holding the handle with one hand, arm extended behind you.
3. Step forward slightly to create tension on the cable and stagger your stance for stability.
4. Keep your elbow fixed in place and curl the handle towards your shoulder by contracting your biceps.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, ensuring maximum contraction.
6. Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position, maintaining control.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch arms.

exercise_detail.tips

• Focus on keeping your elbow stationary to maximize bicep engagement.
• Maintain a slight bend in your knees for better balance and support.
• Avoid using momentum; control both the lifting and lowering phases.
• Ensure your wrist remains neutral throughout the exercise to prevent strain.
• Exhale as you curl up and inhale as you lower down to maintain proper breathing rhythm.
• Adjust the weight so that you can perform each rep with proper form without compromising technique.
