How to perform?
The Standing Wide Cable Curl is an isolation exercise that targets the biceps brachii muscle. This exercise is performed by standing in front of a cable machine with an EZ or Straight Bar attachment, grasping the bar with an underhand grip, and curling the bar upwards toward the shoulders while keeping the elbows stationary. The exercise primarily works the biceps brachii muscle, but also recruits the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles as secondary movers. The use of a cable machine provides constant tension throughout the movement, which can result in greater muscle activation compared to other curl variations.
