How to: Lever Preacher Curl
- Adjust the preacher curl machine to your height.
- Sit down and place your arms on the padded surface.
- Grip the handles and ensure your elbows are locked onto the bench.
- Curl the handles towards your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top.
- Lower the handles back down until your arms are fully extended.
Common Mistakes
- Using momentum instead of muscle engagement.
- Not using a full range of motion.
- Allowing the elbows to lift off the preacher bench.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight for beginners.
- Perform the curl with a resistance band instead of a machine for better control.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and avoid swinging your body to lift the weight.
- Focus on squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
- Begin with lighter weights to master the form before increasing the load.
