Dumbbell Preacher Curl
The preacher curl one arm at a time with a dumbbell.
How to do it
Setup
One arm's triceps flat on the pad, bell hanging, other hand steadying.
Steps
- Curl the bell up until the forearm is vertical.
- Lower slowly all the way down the pad.
- Finish the arm's set, then switch.
Common mistakes
Elbow lifting at the top: glued to the pad. Dropping into the stretch: the bottom inch is where the preacher curl punishes the careless; slow there. Wrist curling to help: straight.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
