cable curl

Arm flexion exercise

A cable curl is a bicep exercise performed using a cable machine, where you grip a handle attached to a low pulley and curl the weight upward.

The constant tension from the cable throughout the movement distinguishes it from dumbbell or barbell curls: I finish my arm workout with cable curls.
