Training Biceps Brachii – Short Head

Biceps cable curl on the lower block – is an isolated exercise aimed at working out the biceps of the shoulder (biceps). Exercise is well suited for effective “pumping” the biceps muscles at the end of the workout, when they are tired as a result of basic exercises. (Basic for biceps is the exercise of lifting the barbell biceps curl).

Thanks to cable block simulator, a good effect of prolonged tension is achieved throughout the exercise. Unlike free weights, a stably high muscle tension is achieved at the upper point of the amplitude of movement.
