How to: Lever Hammer Grip Preacher Curl
- Adjust the leverage machine to fit your height.
- Sit down and place your arms on the preacher bench with a firm grip on the handle.
- Keeping your elbows fixed, curl the weight upward until your forearms are vertical.
- Hold at the top for a moment and then slowly lower it back down.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight, which can lead to improper form.
- Allowing elbows to flare out instead of keeping them stationary.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the movement.
Modifications
- Reduce the weight being used to ensure proper form.
- Use a lighter resistance band if available.
Tips
- Maintain a controlled movement and avoid lifting too quickly to prevent injury.
- Keep your elbows close to your body during the curl to isolate the target muscles effectively.
- Focus on squeezing the bicep at the top of the curl for maximum contraction.
