Coaching cues
- Face the anchor; hold the handles; lean back with arms extended overhead
- Curl the hands toward the forehead — elbows stay high and fixed
- Body rises as you curl — the angle controls the load
- Walk the feet forward to increase the difficulty
Common faults 2
Body swings instead of a controlled curl
Momentum replaces bicep strength; reduce the angle.
