How to do the EZ-Bar Reverse Preacher Curl
Load the EZ curl bar with the appropriate weight and secure it on the preacher bench.
Sit on the preacher bench with your chest against the padding and your feet flat on the floor.
Grasp the EZ curl bar with an underhand grip (palms facing upwards) at shoulder width.
Rest your upper arms flat against the preacher pad, with your elbows slightly bent, and hold the barbell at the starting position.
Exhale as you curl the barbell upwards toward your shoulders, keeping your upper arms stationary and only moving your forearms.
Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement for a count and make sure to maintain tension throughout the movement.
Inhale as you slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position with controlled motion, fully extending your arms.
Repeat the motion for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining good form throughout the set.
Remember to keep your movements smooth and controlled, without using momentum to lift the weight. Adjust the number of sets and repetitions according to your fitness level and goals. Always begin with a lighter weight to perfect your form before progressing to heavier weights.
