Combination (bicep) — additional.

Execution

One arm at a time, alternating continuously — essentially one very long set where you rotate arms with minimal rest. Six sets of 6 per arm. The cable keeps tension on the bicep through the whole range, top and bottom.

The cue that matters

Don't let the cable go slack at the bottom — keep the bicep loaded top to bottom, every rep.

Common mistake

Resting the working arm while the other goes; the point is unbroken tension, so keep rotating.
