Position your right upper arm and elbow on top of the preacher bench pad while making sure your arm is fully extended, this is your starting position.
Curl the dumbbell while contracting your biceps, keep the movement controlled and only your forearm should move, your upper arm should remain stationary on the bench.
Continue to curl the dumbbell until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbell is at shoulder level, hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze your biceps.
Slowly begin to bring the dumbbell back to the starting position as your breathe in, repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and then switch arms.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Using Momentum**: A common mistake is using body momentum to lift the weight, which can lead to injury and less effective workouts. Ensure that the only movement comes from the curling of your arm, not from your body swinging or jerking. **Controlled Movement**: Control the dumbbell throughout the entire movement. Don't let the weight drop quickly after reaching the top of the curl. Instead, lower it slowly and steadily, which will work your muscles during both the lifting and lowering
