How to perform Machine Preacher Curls

1. Select the machine load and adjust the seat so your upper arms rest on the preacher pad with your armpits near its top edge.
2. Take the handles with an underhand grip and keep the backs of your upper arms against the pad.
3. Bend your elbows to curl the handles toward your shoulders without lifting the upper arms or rocking your torso.
4. Lower the handles slowly, extending the elbows through the range you can control while maintaining pad contact.
5. Repeat, then return the machine to its resting position under control.
