Close Grip Preacher Curl

Muscle Groups Worked:

Bicep

How to Perform This Exericse:

1) In the lowest seated position that is comfortable, begin with the weight at the top in the contracted position, with your hands on the closer portion of the grips.  The outside of your elbows should be inside shoulder width apart.

2) Slowly lower the bar to the fully extended position, and raise it back to the starting position again.

3) Avoid using your back muscles to gain leverage, and avoid using momentum by rocking yourself backward.  It is helpful to have the seat in the lowest possible position that you can achieve in order to avoid these things.

Notes: This exercise is to hit more of the inside head of your bicep, the “short head”.
