Exercise Profile

Pulley Overhead Curl Overview

The pulley overhead curl workout primarily targets the biceps, helping to build strength and definition in this muscle group.

In this exercise, the pulley is used to provide resistance as you curl the weight towards your shoulders.

While the pulley may also engage secondary muscles, such as the forearms and shoulders, its main focus is on the biceps.
