Preacher curls are an excellent exercise that targets the biceps muscles in the arms. This exercise can be performed using a preacher curl bench, which is commonly found in gyms and fitness centers. The preacher curl bench has an angled pad that supports your upper arms and isolates the biceps, allowing for a more focused workout. Preacher curls can help to strengthen and tone the biceps, which are essential for many everyday tasks such as lifting and carrying objects. In this guide, we will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to perform the preacher curl exercise correctly, including tips on maintaining proper form and avoiding injury.
How to perform Preacher Bench Bicep Curl
- Attach the preacher’s attachment to the bench.
- Sit on the bench with your upper arms resting on the angled pad and feet flat on the ground.
- Grasp the barbell or dumbbells with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
- Inhale and curl the weight towards your shoulders, keeping your upper arms stationary and elbows tight.
- Exhale and slowly lower the weight back down to the starting position, fully extending your arms at the bottom.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions while maintaining proper form.
- Keep your back straight and core engaged.
- Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight to prevent injury or lower back strain.
