Machine Preacher Curl — biceps isolation exercise in the LIFTAG library

Machine Preacher Curl

Isolation · Weight × reps

Squeeze briefly, then lower slowly without letting the weight stack slam or forcing the elbows into lockout. The machine preacher curl trains the biceps brachii and other elbow flexors with the upper arm supported. Use a load that allows smooth bottom control, keep both shoulders level, and stop if the fixed handle path causes wrist or elbow discomfort.

HOW TO DO MACHINE PREACHER CURL

  1. Adjust the seat so the upper arms rest fully on the preacher pad and the machine’s elbow axis aligns closely with your elbows.
  2. Grip the handles with wrists neutral, begin from a controlled near-extended position, and curl by bending the elbows without lifting the arms from the pad.
