Lever Hammer Grip Preacher Curl

How to perform

To perform the Lever Hammer Grip Preacher Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Sit on the preacher curl bench with your chest pressed firmly against the pad and your feet flat on the ground.
2. Adjust the seat height and pad position so that your arms can fully extend without any strain on your elbows at the starting position.
3. Grasp the lever handles with a hammer grip (palms facing each other) and ensure that your elbows are positioned just below the pad.
4. Slowly curl the lever handles towards your shoulders while keeping your upper arms stationary.
5. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement and then slowly lower the lever handles back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring controlled movements and a full range of motion.
7. Avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the weight, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and increase the risk of injury.
8. Remember to breathe consistently throughout the exercise, exhaling as you lift the weight and inhaling as you lower it.
9. Once you have completed the set, carefully release the lever handles and dismount from the bench.

The Lever Hammer Grip Preacher Curl is a great exercise for isolating the biceps and developing arm strength. It can be incorporated into your arm workout routine to add variety and target different muscle groups. As with any exercise, it is important to use proper form and technique to maximize the benefits and reduce the risk of injury.
