Cable reverse curls

There are standing and seated variations of Reverse Curls on the cable machine. In the standing variations, you stand upright facing the cable machine. Keep your back straight, and your gaze forward. Alternatively, you can also train with the Scott bench on the cable machine. Sit upright, protecting your lower back, with your forearms resting on the cushion of the Scott bench.

Movement execution

During standing Reverse Curls on the cable machine, grasp the bar with both hands in an overhand grip. While exhaling, bend your forearms upward, keeping your elbows close to your body. Once you reach the top position, return the forearms to a slightly bent starting position.

Similarly, there is the option to perform unilateral Reverse Curls on the cable machine. Take the corresponding cable grip in one hand. Commence by bending the forearm upward, executing this upward movement until reaching the maximum end position, while exhaling. Subsequently, return to the starting position, maintaining tension on the cable.

During seated Reverse Curls on the cable machine with the Scott bench, grasp the end of the cable in an overhand grip. While exhaling, bend the forearms upward until they are almost fully vertical, with the elbows resting on the cushion. Following this, bring the forearms back to the starting position while inhaling.
