The Dumbbell Preacher Curl is an isolation exercise primarily targeting the biceps. Performed seated with the arm supported on a preacher bench, it maximizes focus on the biceps while minimizing stress on the shoulder and back, enhancing strength and definition.

How to do it

  1. Sit on the preacher bench, resting your arm on the pad, holding a dumbbell with an underhand grip.
  2. Position the upper arm flat on the bench with the elbow in line with the shoulder.
  3. Slowly curl the dumbbell upwards by flexing your elbow, keeping your upper arm stationary.
  4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing the biceps.
  5. Lower the dumbbell back to the starting position with control.
