Single Arm Bayesian Cable Curl
Single-Arm Bayesian Cable Curls emphasize the long head of the biceps by keeping constant tension through a stretched position. With the cable set behind your body, this movement loads the biceps where they’re typically weakest—making it ideal for building peak, control, and balanced arm strength one side at a time. Think of it as a stretch-focused curl that rewards slow, intentional reps.
