Cable Curl

Cable Curl

The cable curl is an exercise designed to target the biceps brachii muscle. It is performed using a cable machine, and is especially good for isolating the muscle, giving it a good contraction.

It is very similar to the biceps curl, except using different equipment to a dumbbell or a barbell.
