How to Do Barbell Preacher Curls

2. Lower the barbell as far as you can, with control.
3. Reverse the motion and return to the starting position.

Commentary

The barbell preacher curl is an effective exercise for isolating and focusing on the arm flexors. If fully extending your arms feels uncomfortable, you can avoid that position by reversing the movement earlier.
