Seated Preacher Curl

PrimarySecondaryNot worked

This movement mainly trains biceps, and also recruits Forearms.

What the movement loads

The preacher pad fixes the arm and removes any chance of swing. With the arm in front of the torso the long head works short: the exact opposite of the incline curl, and the two complement each other.

How to load it

Ten to fifteen reps. The lowering counts at least as much as the lift — at the bottom, arm extended on the pad, tension is highest and control is not optional.

The recurring mistake

Letting the arm drop suddenly at the end of the descent. The elbow then takes the whole load at end range with no muscle holding it.
