The cable curl is an exercise that targets the biceps muscles. It involves using a cable machine with a handle attachment to perform a curling motion, which helps to build strength and size in the biceps. The exercise can be modified by adjusting the weight, grip, and angle of the cable machine to target different areas of the biceps.
