How to do a preacher curl arm exercise

Stand in the middle of a resistance tube with feet approximately shoulder width apart. Be sure to have equal lengths of resistance tubing on each side. Grasp the handles so your palms are facing to the front.

Keep your elbows close to your side at waist level and contract your biceps by pulling the handle upwards towards your shoulders. The palm of your hand should be facing upwards. After contraction, slowly allow hands to return to starting position. Repeat motion for desired amount of repetitions.

Tips: Palms of hands should be facing up throughout the movement. Be sure to maintain proper posture with a straight back at all times. Keep elbows stationary and do not allow them to swing during exercise. To increase difficulty of this exercise, shorten the resistance tubing on the inside of your foot, or use a thicker band.
