Reverse Barbell Preacher Curls
A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Sit at a preacher bench with the back of your upper arms lying flat on the padding.
- Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing down) at shoulder width.
- Starting with arms fully extended, curl the weight towards your shoulders.
- Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the weight back to the start position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using momentum to lift the weight instead of using muscle tension.
- Allowing the shoulders to move during the curl, which reduces bicep engagement.
- Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the movement.
