*Hold the squeeze for 2 seconds on each rep*

- Lean forward very slightly and allow your arms to lock behind you to exaggerate the stretch in your biceps.
- Once your arms are behind you, make sure your upper arm/shoulders do not move and you only hinge at the elbows letting your biceps do all the work. 
- Hold the squeeze for 2 seconds on each rep and then slowly fight the resistance back into a full stretch.

Seated Cable Curls

- No swinging.
- Hinge at the elbows and just use your biceps and tops of forearms to move the weight up and into a squeeze.

- Hinge at your elbows, don’t let your shoulders take over this movement. 
- Hold the squeeze at the top and slowly fight against the resistance on the way down.

Barbell Curls (4 Second Negatives)

- The reason for the two ropes is the increase the range of motion and get a greater contraction (squeeze) on your triceps at the end of the movement.
- Keep your shoulders locked.
- Allow your elbows to work as a hinge and keep all the tension on the triceps.
- Really exaggerate both the stretch and the contraction.

Dual Rope Pushdowns

Perform BOTH exercises on ONE arm before moving onto the next arm for each set.

One Arm Rope Pushdown

- Lock your shoulder/upper arm into place.
- Just hinge at your elbow to let the triceps do all the work.
- Fully lock out at the end of the movement to really contract the triceps.
- Do not let the weight pull your arm back and force you to use your shoulders to push forward. If this starts happening, lower the weight.
