Low pulley curls is a variation to biceps curls exercise. In this exercise we use the lower end of the pulley to curling. It can be done single arm alternating or both the arms at the same time. During this workout your forearms will also be worked on. The advantage of performing this exercise on a cable pulley machine instead of using a barbell or dumbbell is that the pulley keeps working your biceps muscles throughout the entire range of motion.
Form is very important for this workout. Please check below carefully the exercise movement for this workout.

Raise the bar slowly upward toward your chest by bending your arm at your elbow. Ensure that your are contracting your biceps during this movement. Breathe out as you do so. Do not lean back. Also your elbow should not move forward. Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.
Continue the movement until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level. Once at the peak position, inhale and slowly begin to lower the bar back to the starting position. Ensure that you lower the weight slowly and feel the resistance even while lowering the weight. Take the bar all the way down to the start position. Repeat the entire cycle.
