- Equipment

- Target
- Biceps
This second preacher curl variation adjusts the machine's handle or angle but keeps the same core benefit — the pad locks the upper arm in place so the biceps do the work without shoulder or back assistance. Good for chasing a strict, controlled stretch at the bottom of the curl.
How to Do the Lever Preacher Curl V. 2
- Adjust the seat height and position yourself on the machine with your upper arms resting on the pad and your chest against the support.
- Grasp the handles with an underhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Keep your upper arms stationary and exhale as you curl the handles towards your shoulders, contracting your biceps.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, squeezing your biceps.
- Inhale as you slowly lower the handles back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
