Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Reverse cable curl.
The reverse cable curl uses an overhand grip on a cable to target the biceps and forearm muscles, with constant tension from the cable throughout the movement. The pronated grip places extra emphasis on the brachialis and forearm extensors.
The Reverse cable curl is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
