Instructions

  3. 3Make sure that your feet (especially the toes) are well positioned on the floor and place your upper arms on top of the pad located on the inside part of the preacher bench.
  4. 4Use your arms to grab the barbell with a supinated grip (palms facing up) at about shoulder width apart or slightly closer from each other.
  5. 5Slowly begin to lift the barbell upwards and exhale. Hold the contracted position for a second as you squeeze the biceps.
  6. 6Slowly begin to bring the barbell back to the starting position as your breathe in. .
  7. 7Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
