Cable Preacher Curl
CABLE PREACHER CURL
The cable preacher curl is an elbow flexor strengthening exercise. This exercise is completed using an exercise bench and a cable pulley machine or functional trainer (using bands is also an option). Start by placing the bench on a 45 to 60 degree incline set up to be facing the cable machine. Stand behind the bench with the back of your upper arm supported by the bench. Grab the handle of the cable pulley in your hand and bend the elbow to raise the weight. Keep the elbow stable on the bench while you’re lifting the weight. Isolate the elbow flexors by keeping the shoulder relaxed in a fixed position. Lower the weight to complete a repetition.
