Reverse Preacher Curls

In this lesson you will learn how to do reverse preacher curls. The reverse preacher curl is a forearm exercise and partially also works out the biceps. It's recommended to do reverse preacher curls with an ez-bar, but you can also do them with a straigth barbell, dumbbells or with only one arm.

Description: Reverse Preacher Curls - Forearms & Biceps

• Sit onto the preacher curl bench and grasp the EZ-bar with an A-overgrip. That's the only difference between normal preacher curls and reverse preacher curls. Keep your upper arms flat on the arm support during the whole exercise. The arms have to stay totally prallel and the shoulders have to stay as low as possible. Don't elevate your shoulders or your elbows as you move the weight. Curl up the weight without elevating the shoulders or the elbows and stop before your forearms reach vetical level or when the bar is approximately 20 cm from your shoulders. Exhale at the same time.
• Extend your arms as far as your elbows feel comfortable, and exhale at the same time. Keep your arms parallel and your elbows pretty close together. Many weight lifters like to fully extend the arms at the lowest position. If you decide to do so, make sure you slow down the motion before the arms are totally extended. (because you could injure your elbows) I personally prefer stop at approximately 175°, so that my arm muscles still protect my elbows at this point.
