How to do it

Single-arm curl from a high cable that lets you work the biceps with the shoulder raised and a stable path.

Form. Keep the elbow high, flex without turning the torso and return slowly until you feel tension without losing shoulder position.

Common mistake. Dropping the elbow so it becomes another curl, shrugging your neck, or using trunk momentum.
