How to: Lever Preacher Curl
- Adjust the preacher curl machine to your height.
- Sit on the machine and place your arms on the pad.
- Grip the bar with an underhand grip, keeping your wrists straight.
- Slowly curl the bar towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows against the pad.
- Pause at the top of the movement for a moment.
- Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position before repeating.
Common Mistakes
- Lifting too heavy, leading to poor form.
- Not keeping elbows stationary.
- Using momentum rather than muscle strength.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight to ensure proper form.
- Perform the exercise seated with less range of motion if needed.
Tips
- Avoid swinging the weight; control the movement.
- Make sure your elbows stay in contact with the preacher pad.
- Breathe out while lifting and inhale while lowering the weight.
