Reverse Grip Cable Curl: how to do it and form tips

A cable curl with an overhand (pronated) grip that isolates the brachialis and forearm extensors, adding overall arm thickness and width that standard curls miss.

Form tips

  1. Use a straight bar on the low cable with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width.
  2. Keep elbows pinned at your sides and don't let your wrists bend backward.
  3. Control the descent slowly — the brachialis gets maximum stimulus on the way down.
