The Dumbbell Seated Preacher Curl is an isolation exercise that primarily targets the biceps. It is performed using a preacher bench and dumbbells.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Seated Preacher Curl, follow these steps:1. Sit on the preacher bench with your chest pressed against the pad and your feet flat on the floor.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing up and your arms fully extended, hanging down towards the floor.
3. Keep your upper arms and elbows resting against the pad throughout the exercise.
4. Inhale and slowly curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows stationary.
5. Contract your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position while exhaling.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
