Step by step
- Set the preacher bench so the top pad sits just under your armpits with your chest pressed firmly against it.
- Grip the EZ bar at the inner-angled grips with your palms facing down and arms extended down the pad.
- Curl the bar upward by bending only at the elbows, keeping your wrists straight and your upper arms locked in place.
- Squeeze the top of the rep with your wrists held neutral, feeling the work in the forearms and outer biceps.
- Lower the bar slowly over 2 to 3 seconds until your arms are nearly straight at the bottom of the rep.
- Stop just short of full lockout to keep constant tension, then curl the bar back up for the next rep.
