How to Perform Overhead Cable Curl

Set the pulleys on a cable machine to a high position and attach single handles to each side. Stand in the center of the machine and grab a handle in each hand with your palms facing upward. Extend your arms out to the sides so they are roughly parallel to the floor with a slight bend in your elbows. Keeping your upper arms fixed in place, curl the handles toward your head by bending your elbows and contracting your biceps. Pause briefly at the top while squeezing your biceps, then slowly extend your arms back to the starting position with control.
