Cable curl with one arm on the low block
An alternative rendition of cable pulls is the one-arm cable curls at the lower block. In the following section, you will receive additional information on proper body posture and the execution of movements to maximize the potential of cable curls. Generally, there is the option to pull the cable from both the front and the rear.
Body position
Depending on the exercise variation, you either stand facing the cable pull or with your back turned to the cable tower. If you pull the cable from behind, a lunge is recommended. If you stand in front of the cable pull, keep your legs hip-width apart. In both variations, maintain an upright posture with your head forming a natural extension of the spine.
Movement execution
You can start by pulling the cable from behind. Hold the cable in one hand, with the arm almost fully extended downward and slightly behind the body. Exhale as you bend the forearm upward, keeping the upper arm stationary and alongside the body. Subsequently, lower the forearm while inhaling.
Additionally, there is the option to pull the cable from the front in the one-arm cable curls at the lower block. In this case, hold the cable in one hand directly beside the body, with the arm almost fully extended. Exhale as you bend the forearm upward, briefly hold the end position, and then lower the forearm again.
