Behind-the-Back High-Stretch Curl Guide
- Exercise Type: Isolation - focuses on targeting and isolating specific muscle groups, allowing for targeted muscle development.
- Targeted Muscle Groups:
- primary: biceps
- secondary: forearm
How to perform?
Stand with the bar or cable behind your legs and curl from a deep stretched starting position. Emphasize a long, controlled eccentric and maintain a full stretch at the bottom to target the long head of the biceps.
Muscles worked: biceps (primary) and forearms (secondary). Common mistakes include shorting the range of motion and swinging. High-rep, high-stretch sets improve muscle length tension and can reduce injury risk over time.
