Preacher Curls
: To work the biceps muscle especially the lower end.
Preacher
curls is especially good for anyone who has space between the lower
biceps and the elbow joint, to help fill in and shape the biceps
muscles. Preacher curls are an even stricter workout than regular
barbell curls.
1) Position
yourself with your chest against the bench, your arms extending over it.
2) This puts
the arms at an angle, which transfers additional stress to the lower
area of the biceps muscle.
3) Take hold
of a barbell with an underlined grip when performing the preacher curls
exercise.
4) Holding
your body steady, curl the bar all the way up and then lower it again to
full extension, resisting the weight on the way down.
You can use
an e-z curl bar for preacher curls movement, or even use the bench for
One-Arm Dumbbell Curls. Don't lean back as you lift the bar, and
deliberately flex the muscle extra hard as you come to the top of the
preacher curls movement, where there is little actual stress on the
biceps muscles.
Preacher Cable Curls combine the
strictness of the preacher bench with the strictness that comes from the
steady resistance provided by a cable.
Doing Preacher Curls with a cable gives
the biceps resistance even on the top. (With dumbbells, or barbells, the
resistance is mostly on the bottom.) Therefore, doing the exercise with
a cable helps you to add peak contraction to your biceps workout.
