Dumbbell Standing Preacher Curl
A one-arm dumbbell curl standing at a stand-up preacher pad, the upper arm draped down its face.
How to do it
Setup
Standing behind a stand-up preacher pad, one upper arm down its face, dumbbell hanging, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Curl the bell toward the shoulder, arm pressed to the pad.
- Stop before the forearm tips past vertical.
- Lower slowly; finish the set, then switch arms.
Common mistakes
Leaning the whole body over the pad to lift: stand still, the arm works. Elbow creeping off the pad at the top: keep it planted. Rushing the bottom: a slow finish protects the elbow.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
