Exercise of the Month
Lying Concentration Cable Curls
This is by far my new favorite excercise for biceps! The main focus is on the peak or top area of the bicep ( that is where you should feel it if you do it correctly) You are actually lying down on the ground (on your back) when you perform the excercise.
1.) Fit the cable with a single handle attachment
2.) Grab the handle and lay down on the ground on you back knees are bent, slide down towards the pulley
getting your crotch as close as you can – without actually touching.
3.) Stradle cable placing one foot on each side of the pulley, cable will be directly in between your legs
4.) Start with your bicep curled so that your palm faces your chest – elbow is pointed out, then slowly
extend forearm until you feel the lengthening in the top of the bicep at that point go ahead and curl it back in – concentrating your contraction on the upper peak of the bicep.
This is a great way to help isolate the bicep and take the shoulder out of it completely – performing concentration curls with dumbells is similar to this but when you are seated upright and the weight becomes heavy you can cheat easily by using the shoulders. Looking for something different to add to your routine give this a try!!! My biceps are so sore!!!!
