Dumbbell Preacher Curl Over Exercise Ball

Target
Biceps

Using a stability ball in place of a preacher bench keeps the same arm-supported, momentum-free setup while adding a bit of core engagement to stay balanced. The support the ball provides isn't as rigid as an actual preacher bench, so form has to stay a bit more careful. It's a reasonable substitute for strict curling when a preacher bench isn't available.

How to Do the Dumbbell Preacher Curl Over Exercise Ball

  1. Sit on an exercise ball with your feet planted on the floor and your back straight.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in one hand with an underhand grip, resting your elbow on the exercise ball.
  3. Without moving your upper arm, exhale and curl the dumbbell up toward your shoulder.
  4. Hold briefly at the top, then inhale and lower the dumbbell back down under control.
  5. Continue for the target number of reps, then switch arms.
