Biceps

Preacher Curl

Starting position

  • Sit at the preacher bench, upper arms flat on the pad.
  • EZ bar or dumbbells, underhand grip.

Execution

  • Curl the weight to the shoulders.
  • Lower slowly until the arms are almost straight.

Common mistakes

  • Locking out and bouncing at the bottom: strains the elbow.
  • Lifting the glutes off the seat.
  • Too much weight and too short a movement.
