Dumbbell Alternate Preacher Curl
The dumbbell preacher curl with a bell in each hand, one arm curling while the other rests straight on the pad.
How to do it
Setup
Seated at the preacher bench, both arms on the pad, a dumbbell in each hand, palms up.
Steps
- Curl one bell up while the other arm stays long.
- Lower it all the way before the other arm curls.
- Alternate for the set, both elbows on the pad.
Common mistakes
Resting arm lifting off the pad: it stays down and straight. Twisting the shoulders toward the working side: square to the bench. Speeding up as the set gets hard: each rep slow on the way down.
Breathing
Exhale on each curl, inhale lowering.
