Bayesian Cable Curl

Setup

1. 01Set a single handle on the lowest pulley position.
2. 02Grab the handle underhand and face away from the stack.
3. 03Step forward into a staggered stance until the cable is taut.
4. 04Let the working arm extend down and slightly behind the torso.

Execution

1. 01Curl the handle forward and up while the upper arm stays behind the body line.
2. 02Keep the shoulder pinned back; do not let it roll forward.
3. 03Squeeze at the top, then lower slowly back into the deep stretch.
4. 04Complete all reps, then switch arms.

Checkpoints

• -Constant cable tension at the bottom stretch position.
• -Upper arm stays angled behind the torso, not drifting forward.
• -Torso stays still; no rocking forward to help the curl.
• -Elbow reaches full extension between reps.

Common mistakes

• -Standing too close to the stack and losing the stretch.
• -Letting the shoulder round forward as fatigue builds.
• -Turning it into a front raise by lifting the whole arm.
• -Rushing the eccentric where this exercise does its best work.
