Movement instructions

1
Grab an EZ-bar using a shoulder width and palms down (pronated) grip.
2
Now place the upper part of both arms on top of the preacher bench and have your arms extended. This will be your starting position.
3
As you exhale, use the biceps to curl the weight up until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbell is at shoulder height. Squeeze the biceps hard for a second at the contracted position.
4
As you breathe in, slowly lower the barbell until your upper arms are extended and the biceps is fully stretched.
5
Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Technique guidance

Exhale as the target muscle shortens against resistance and inhale during the controlled return. Keep breathing steadily throughout the set.

Use a stable setup and a load or resistance you can control through a comfortable range.
Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or feel unwell.
Use collars where appropriate and keep the lifting and lowering path clear.
