Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Cable Standing Inner Curl
- Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, grasp the bar with an underhand grip, and keep your palms facing upward.
- Keep your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights while contracting your biceps, continue to raise the weight until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.

Tips for Performing Cable Standing Inner Curl
- **Controlled Movement**: Ensure that you are using a slow and controlled movement when performing this exercise. Avoid the temptation to use momentum or to jerk the weights. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but can also lead to injuries.
- **Elbow Placement**: One common mistake is to move the elbows during the curl. Your elbows should remain stationary and close to your body throughout the exercise. Moving your elbows can shift the focus away from your biceps, reducing the effectiveness of the workout.
- **Proper Weight Selection**: Select a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with correct form for the desired number of reps. Using a weight that is too heavy can compromise your form and potentially lead to injury.
