Reverse Grip Preacher Curl

Reverse Grip Preacher Curl Instructions

• Grab the bar with an overhand (pronated) grip and get into a starting position with the upper arms and chest situated against the padding.
• To start, the bar is roughly shoulder height.
• Lower the bar slowly until your arms are fully extended but there is still a slight bend in the elbow.
• Feel your biceps and forearms elongating and controlling the motion.
• For this movement especially, the eccentric portion is just as important as the concentric.
• Don't just drop the bar from the top.
• Curl the bar to the starting position using your bicep and no added momentum.

*Tips*

• Your upper arms and body should remain fixed for the whole exercise. Only your forearms should move.
• The muscle used first will be used the most.
• Momentum will negate the movement.
• The purpose of the reverse preacher curl is to isolate the brachioradialis.
