Barbell Preacher Curl

How to do it

  1. Sit at a preacher bench with the upper arms resting flat against the angled pad and grip a loaded barbell with palms facing up.
  2. Curl the barbell up toward the shoulders, keeping the upper arms pressed firmly against the pad throughout.
  3. Squeeze the biceps hard at the top without letting the elbows lift off the pad.
  4. Lower the bar slowly until the arms are almost fully extended, stopping just short of locking out.
  5. Exhale while curling up and inhale during the lowering phase.
  6. Avoid bouncing the weight out of the bottom position to keep tension on the biceps.
