Common Bayesian Cable Curl mistakes
What goes wrong most often when you do the Bayesian Cable Curl, and how to fix it.
Your elbow drifts forward and your arm is no longer behind your body.
Fix your elbow at your side or slightly behind it and move only your forearm.
You stand too close to the cable and the biceps start without a stretch.
Step forward far enough that, at the bottom, your arm is extended and behind your torso.
Your torso leans forward to help the lift.
Keep your chest upright and your front foot planted. Your body stays still. Only the elbow moves.
