About

It is a workout to build biceps using EZ bar while sitting on a preacher bench. You can focus on targeting your biceps because you lift the weight only with the strength of the biceps!

How to EZ-Bar Preacher Curl

Starting Position

1. Sit on the preacher bench and press your upper body and arms completely against the pad.

2. Grab the EZ bar with your palms facing up.

Proper Form

1. Press your armpits against the preacher bench.

2. Grab the EZ bar with your palms facing up at shoulder width.

3. Lift the EZ bar using only the strength of your biceps without any body or shoulder momentum.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

Fix your elbows to the pad and be careful not to move your wrists excessively.
