#Info – Single-Arm Low Pulley Cable Curl
To maximize the Single-Arm Low Pulley Cable Curl, focus on maintaining proper form by keeping your elbow close to your body and avoiding swinging. A common mistake is using too much weight, leading to poor form. Start with lighter weights to ensure control throughout the curl. Adjust the cable height to keep tension on the bicep. This exercise benefits muscle isolation and can improve arm strength and symmetry. For beginners, use a stable stance; advanced users can try a staggered stance or add a slight twist at the top to engage more muscle fibers. Always prioritize controlled movements over speed.
