How to do it

  1. Sit at the preacher bench with a dumbbell in one hand and your armpit over the top of the pad.
  2. Lay the back of your upper arm flat on the pad with your palm facing up.
  3. Curl the dumbbell up until your forearm is almost vertical, then lower it slowly.
  4. Stop just short of locking your elbow at the bottom and keep the movement smooth.

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