- Sit at a preacher curl bench and secure your upper arms against the pad.
- Grip the barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.

- Pause briefly, then curl the bar back up until your biceps are fully contracted.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Modifications
- Adjust the weight according to your strength level.

Tips
