How to do it

  1. Adjust the seat of the preacher bench so the top of the pad fits snugly into your armpits.
  2. Hold a barbell or EZ bar with an underhand grip and lay the backs of your upper arms flat on the pad.
  3. Curl the bar up until your forearms are almost vertical, squeezing your biceps.
  4. Lower the bar slowly to nearly straight arms and never bounce out of the bottom.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
