cable preacher curl
The preacher curl is a classic exercise for building bigger biceps. This variation is performed on the cables with the EZ Bar attachment. This move is all about isolation. With the back of the upper arms against the pad, it’s next to impossible to cheat. Go light, get a great pump, and build that peak!
CABLE PREACHER CURL BENEFITS:
- Great exercise to isolate the biceps

- Sit on the preacher bench and grip the EZ Bar attachment with your hands shoulder width apart using an underhand (palms facing up) grip.
- Keeping your back straight and eyes facing forwards, take the weight off the rack so you’re supporting it with your arms slightly bent. This is the starting position.
