How to do the Band Kneeling Preacher Curl

  1. Attach a resistance band to a low and stable point of a vertical structure (like a squat rack or heavy piece of furniture).

  2. Kneel down with your knees about hip-width apart. Position yourself be facing the anchor point of the band, a few feet back to allow for adequate tension in the band.

  3. Grip the handles of the resistance band with an underhand grip (palms facing up) and extend your arms fully.

  4. Rest your arms on your thighs, elbows just above the knees, to mimic the preacher curl bench support and to prevent the rest of your body from assisting in the curl.

  5. Keeping your upper arms stationary and back straight, exhale as you curl the band towards your shoulders by flexing the biceps.

  6. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement and hold briefly.

  7. Inhale and slowly lower the band back to the starting extended arm position while maintaining control.

  8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Be sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to maximize biceps engagement and to prevent injury. Adjust your distance from the anchor point to increase or decrease resistance as necessary.
