GHD Barbell Preacher Curls

Using a glute ham developer (or preacher curl pad), position your body behind the pad holding the barbell close to your shoulder with arms bent until you are in proper position. Your torso and triceps should be resting on the pad in front of you. Slowly lower the weight under control until your elbows are extended. Squeeze your biceps to curl the weight towards your face bringing the pinky’s towards the shoulders to maximize bicep usage. Lower the weights under control until lockout and repeat for the desired reps and sets.

Trainer Tips: Use a submaximal load when performing preacher curls. It is possible to tear biceps at the lockout position if the weight is too heavy. This is an isolation exercise and should be done with intent and focus.
