Technique

How to perform Cable Preacher Curl

  1. Place a preacher curl bench in front of a low pulley fitted with a straight bar, close enough to take the bar while seated.
  2. Take an underhand grip and rest your upper arms on the pad with your chest against the bench.
  3. Start with your elbows nearly straight while keeping the cable taut.
  4. Curl the bar toward your shoulders without lifting your upper arms from the pad.
  5. Lower under control, maintaining the same shoulder position and grip.
