Why should you do Biceps curl in a cable machine?

Most of the time you curl using dumbbells or barbells, but sometimes the cable machine is the better alternative. One of the great advantages is that you can quickly change weight and perform a drop set to get the lactic acid going properly. Therefore, end your biceps workout with a couple of drop sets in this exercise.

Guide for Machine Biceps Curl

  • Keep your back straight throughout the movement
  • Pull back the shoulder blades in order to not engage the shoulders
  • Do not swing with the upper body, it should be still
  • The exercise is very suitable for Drop Sets at the end of your biceps workout

Deadlift

Maintain a tensed torso throughout the lift. Your back should be neutral throughout the lift, do not bend it at all. Your arms should be straight throughout the exercise. Your hips should lie between your knees and your shoulders at the starting position

Pull Down

The back muscles on the side are called Latissimus Dorsi or short your Lats, and they give the back its width. As the name suggests, this exercise mainly trains these muscles. There are lots of rowing exercises that train your lats, but the advantage of Pull Downs is that your lats are stretched out in the starting position. This is because the Lats muscle attaches to the arm bone and is stretched out completely when you lift your arms forward over your head. The path of movement for the muscle is thus long, which is good for muscle growth.
