How to perform Dumbbell Preacher Curl with proper form
Setup:
- Equipment: Dumbbells and a preacher bench.
- Positioning: Sit on the preacher bench, ensuring your upper arms rest on the angled pad.
Execution:
- Grip: Hold a dumbbell in each hand with an underhand grip (palms facing upward).
- Starting Position: Let your arms extend fully, with your elbows against the pad.
- Curling:
- Engage your biceps and curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders.
- Keep your upper arms stationary against the pad.
- Peak Contraction: Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement.
- Lowering:
- Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control.
- Avoid locking out your elbows to keep tension on the biceps.
Tips:
- Maintain a straight back and avoid using your shoulders.
- Focus on a slow and controlled movement throughout the exercise.
- Adjust the bench height to ensure a comfortable range of motion.
