About

Preacher curls are performed while seated, with the upper arms resting on a support pad. As you bend your elbows, the handles move along a fixed path. The primary load is placed on the biceps, while other elbow flexors and the forearm flexor muscles assist in the movement.

How to do it

  1. 1Bend your arms, pulling the handles toward your shoulders while keeping your upper arms pressed against the support.
  2. 2Stop before your shoulders shift forward or the lever reaches the machine’s end stop.
  3. 3Lower the handles in a controlled manner until your arms are straight. Stop sooner if the fully extended position feels uncomfortable.
