Description

The high cable curl exercise for the biceps are most effective when performed as a finisher. Light weight is typically used and you should focus on feeling the movement and allowing the biceps to get a good stretch. Training the biceps from this elevated angle has also been shown to draw optimal recruitment from the long head of the biceps.
