Preacher Curl

Preacher Curl Instructions

• Grab the bar with an underhand (supinated) grip and get into a starting position with the upper arms and chest situated against the padding.
• To start, the bar is roughly shoulder height.
• Lower the bar slowly until your arms are fully extended but there is still a slight bend in the elbow.
• Feel your biceps elongating and controlling the motion.
• For this movement especially, the eccentric portion is just as important as the concentric.
• Curl the bar to the starting position using your bicep and no added momentum.

*Tips*

• The muscle used first will be used the most. Momentum will negate the movement.
• The purpose of the preacher curl is to isolate the bicep, negating momentum or other musculature.
