Dumbbell Zottman Preacher Curl
The Zottman curl on the preacher bench: the bells rise palms up, turn over at the top and come down palms down along 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 both bells up palms up.
- At the top, turn the palms to face DOWN.
- Lower slowly palms down, then turn them back up at the bottom.
Common mistakes
Turning the hands halfway down the pad: rotate only at the top and at the bottom. Heavy bells that the palms-down grip cannot lower slowly: size them for the lowering. Elbows lifting as the hands turn: they stay on the pad.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale on the slow lowering.
