The Dumbbell Reverse Preacher Curl exercise is a variation of the traditional preacher curl that targets the biceps, specifically the brachialis muscle which lies underneath the biceps.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell Reverse Preacher Curl:1. Sit on a preacher bench with your chest pressed against the pad and your armpits tight against the top of the pad.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
3. Extend your arms straight down towards the floor, keeping your elbows close to your body.
4. Curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows stationary and your wrists straight.
5. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
6. Complete the desired number of repetitions.
To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can perform drop sets, increase the weight of the dumbbells, or add pauses at the top of the movement. Make sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to avoid injury and maximize muscle engagement.
