Preacher Curls EZ Barbell

• Choose a weight that allows you to complete controlled reps. Start lighter if you're new to preacher curls.

• Sit at a preacher curl bench and rest your upper arms on the padded support. This keeps your arms in place and isolates the biceps.

• Hold the EZ bar with an underhand, shoulder-width grip. Your palms should face forward.

• Let the bar hang at full arm extension. Initiate the curl by flexing at the elbows and bring the bar up toward your shoulders.

• Focus on using your biceps to lift the weight. Go through the full range of motion from full elbow extension at the bottom to full contraction at the top.

• Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position in a controlled motion. Do not allow gravity to pull it down.

• Keep your upper body stable and avoid swinging or rocking to get momentum.

• Breathe out as you curl the bar up and breathe in as you lower it. Do not hold your breath..

• You can vary your grip width on the EZ bar to hit the biceps from different angles. A closer grip will emphasize the short head.
