How to do it

  1. Set two pulleys high, stand between them and hold a handle in each hand with your arms out to the sides.
  2. Keep your upper arms level with your shoulders.
  3. Curl the handles towards your head without moving your upper arms.
  4. Squeeze your biceps, then extend slowly.

Watch out: Dropping your elbows below shoulder height, which takes the tension off.
