2. Position your feet shoulder-width apart and take a small step forward to create slight tension in the cables
3. Keep your elbows close to your body and curl the handles toward your face by bending your elbows and engaging your biceps.

5. Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position with full control.
6. Repeat for reps.

Commentary

Cable crossover bicep curl is an effective exercise for isolating and targeting the biceps. Since the cables maintain constant tension throughout the movement, the muscles could be activated more evenly compared to free weights
