How to do it

  1. Set a preacher bench in front of a low pulley, pad facing the machine, and attach a straight or EZ bar.
  2. Adjust the seat so the top of the pad reaches your armpits, grab the bar underhand and lay your upper arms flat on the pad.
  3. Curl the bar up until your forearms are almost vertical, then lower it slowly to nearly straight arms.
  4. Keep your upper arms on the pad and don't let the weights touch down between reps.

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