Cable Biceps Curl (SZ-bar)

Expert Advice

Avoid swinging your body; use a controlled motion to fully engage the biceps without momentum.

Attach an SZ-bar to a low pulley and grab it with a shoulder-width grip.
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and elbows close to your torso.
Curl the bar while keeping your upper arms stationary, exhaling as you lift the weight.
Hold the contraction briefly at the top, then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
