You can step forward and let the cable actually pre-stretch your biceps at the start of the movement. And because we are using cables there is constant tension on the muscles at all times, so you also get a good peak contraction in the bicep muscles right at the top of the lift.<\/p>\n<p>Single arm cable curls are good to do at the end of your bicep workout as a finishing move <em>(after you&#8217;ve already done your heavier power exercises)<\/em>. I&#8217;d recommend you start with a light warm up set, than up the weight and perform 4 sets of 10-12 reps per arm. Really focus on using strict form and feeling the bicep muscles stretch and contract with each rep.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve posted a video clip below demonstrating how to perform this exercise below:<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"390\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/8LTQ-ndIHr0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p><P><br \/>\n<HR><br \/>\n<P><\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.BlastYourBiceps.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.leehayward.com\/blastyourbiceps\/byb-spiral-sm.jpg\" alt=\"Blast Your Biceps\" \/><\/a>\n<\/td>\n<td>If you would like to get some more killer arm exercises and workouts for building big muscular arms, be sure to download a copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blastyourbiceps.com\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Blast Your Biceps&#8221;<\/a>.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\nThis is a complete 3 phase mass building arm specialization training system that can help you gain as much as 2 inches of solid muscle mass to your upper arms in as little as 8 weeks.<br \/>\n<BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.blastyourbiceps.com\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here<\/a> for more information and to download your copy of the program&#8230;\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blastyourbiceps.com\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img42.imageshack.us\/img42\/4248\/leehaywardbeforeafterpi.jpg\" alt=\"Blast Your Biceps\" \/><br \/>\nTry the program out for yourself risk free at: www.BlastYourBiceps.com<br \/>\n<\/a><\/center><br \/>\n<P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The single arm bicep cable curl is a killer bicep isolation exercise that works the biceps through a full range of motion and can help add more size, shape and peak to your biceps.
