Preacher Curl Machine

How to do it

  1. Sit at the preacher curl machine and adjust the seat so your upper arms rest flush against the angled pad.
  2. Grip the handles with a shoulder-width, underhand grip and let your arms extend fully without locking your elbows.
  3. Curl the handles upward by contracting your biceps, keeping your upper arms pinned to the pad throughout.
  4. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement without lifting your elbows off the pad.
  5. Lower the handles slowly to full extension, exhaling on the way up and inhaling on the way down.
  6. Keep the motion controlled through the full range, avoiding any momentum swing to move the weight.
