EZ-Barbell Standing Preacher Curl

The EZ-Barbell Standing Preacher Curl targets the biceps while providing support for your arms.

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the EZ-bar with an underhand grip.
  2. Rest your upper arms on the preacher bench, ensuring your elbows are positioned correctly.
  3. Curl the bar towards your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
  4. Lower the bar back to the starting position in a controlled manner.

How to perform the EZ-Barbell Standing Preacher Curl

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the EZ-Barbell Standing Preacher Curl using your ez barbell.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
