Set a straight bar attachment to a low pulley on the cable machine. Kneel or sit facing the machine, placing forearms on thighs or a bench, allowing wrists to hang over the edge while gripping the bar underhand.
Inhale during the controlled eccentric lowering phase and exhale forcefully as you curl the weight up into contraction.
3-1-1
Start with wrists fully extended into a deep stretch, ending with wrists curled maximally towards the forearms for peak contraction.
Not required; use self-correction or immediately drop the weight if pain occurs.
