How to do it

  1. Attach a straight bar to a low pulley and grab it underhand at about shoulder width.
  2. Stand tall close to the machine with your elbows pinned to your sides.
  3. Curl the bar up toward your shoulders and squeeze your biceps at the top.
  4. Lower the bar slowly without letting the weights touch down, and keep your body still.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
