Method:
Sit at the pad with your arms hanging over it. Pick up the bar and sit down with the pad high up on your chest and your elbows parallel to each other. Curl the weight up to your face. Pause as you reach the top of your curl and lower it back to the starting position.Why it’s good:
With the preacher pad, your arms and body can’t swing, so you can’t use other muscles to compensate for your bicep, so this exercise zooms in on them and gets them working hard.What to watch out for:
Watch out for having your elbows off the pad, and a heavy weight, as you may hyperextend your elbow. Keep the elbows on the pad, and the weight heavy, but controllable.Snapshot:
