How to do Preacher Curls
Adopt a staggered stance for balance. With an underhand grip on the dumbbell, mimic a preacher curl stance by hovering your arms in the air. Curl the dumbbells toward your shoulder, ensuring the movement is concentrated in the bicep.
Common mistakes
Avoid using momentum or engaging other body parts. Ensure only the forearm moves, keeping the upper arm stationary.
Breathing
Inhale as you lower the dumbbell; exhale when curling towards your shoulder.
