How to: EZ Barbell Preacher Curl
- Adjust the preacher bench so that your upper arms lay flat against the pad.
- Hold the EZ bar with an underhand grip, and let your arms hang down fully extended.
- Curl the barbell towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows stationary.
- Squeeze at the top of the movement for a moment, then lower the bar back to the starting position.
