About

It is a workout to build biceps using barbells while sitting on a preacher bench. You can focus on targeting your biceps because you lift the weight only with the strength of the biceps!

How to Barbell Preacher Curl

Starting Position

1. Sit on the preacher bench and press your upper body and arms completely against the pad.

2. Grab the barbell with your palms facing up.

Proper Form

1. Press your armpits against the pad.

2. Grab the barbell with shoulder-width grip, palms facing up.

3. Lift the barbell using only your biceps without any body or shoulder momentum.

4. Slowly lower the barbell while feeling the resistance of the weight, keeping your shoulders and elbows fixed.

5. Do not fully extend your arms; keep them slightly bent to maximize relaxation.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

Fix your elbow to the pad and slowly adjust the weight.
