| What to do: | Sit down behind a preacher curl bench. Use an easy curl bar to put less stress on the wrists. Grab the bar on the 'slant down' angle of the bar as shown in the stat position. Begin the exercise by leaning into the machine so that your arm pits are right on the top. Then straighten the arms and begin the curl. Flex the arms bringing the bar into the finish position as shown. Only bring the bar up so far that you can still feel the tension in the biceps. If you bring the bar up too far you are actually supporting it with your bones instead of your muscles and it is best to have the tension in your muscles throughout the entire set instead of giving yourself a rest between each repetition. Return to the start position and continue. Exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down. | ||||
| Don't Forget to: | Breathe! For some reason people tend to hold their breath somewhat on this exercise. Keep the bar under complete control and make sure the wrists stay straight. | ||||
| Equipment needed: | Preacher curl machine, easy curl bar. | ||||
| Muscles worked: | Biceps. | ||||
