Cable Overhead Curl On Exercise Ball

BicepsCableBeginner
Sit on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the floor. Grasp the cable handle with an underhand grip, palms facing up. Extend your arms fully overhead. Bend your elbows and curl the cable handle down towards your head, keeping your upper arms stationary. Pause briefly, then slowly extend your arms back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Cable Overhead Curl On Exercise Ball

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable Overhead Curl On Exercise Ball using your cable.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
