Preacher Curl Exercise

The preacher curl is the ideal biceps solution! Few biceps exercises help isolate your biceps and their synergists, along with tendons and ligaments, better than preacher curl.

You may think of the preacher curl as just one exercise, but actually many variations on the basic movement are available to you: You can choose dumbbells, a straight or EZ-bar, cables or even resistance bands to challenge the muscles in slightly different ways.

• Grab your workout bar with an underhand grip, your pinkies angled toward each other.
• Rest your upper arms on a sloping pad and hold the bar at arm's length in front of you.
• Lift the bar as high as you can, then slowly lower it.
