Exercise Instructions
- Set up for the cable preacher curl by grabbing a preacher bench and placing it in front of a low pulley cable machine. There should be about a 1-2 ft gap.
- Attach a straight bar to the low pulley cable and select the weight you want to use on the stack.
- Sit on the bench with your upper arms on the pads and grasp the bar with an underhand grip (palms facing up) at about shoulder width.
- Bend the arms slightly to apply tension to the biceps. This is the starting position.
- Slowly curl the bar up as far as possible, squeeze the biceps at the top, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
- Repeat for desired reps.
Exercise Tips:
- Control the weight during the set, especially on the way down.
- Keep your upper arms fixed on the pads, and don't lean back as you curl the weight up.
- Keep your wrists straight.

This looks awesome. I've been doing toning weight training for a few years, now I'm wanting to get huge.
How long do you think the daily routines should take?

Hey, I just went through basically everyone of your "Bicep" exercises and I noticed something. Some of them include having Forearms as a secondary muscle, and some don't. What determines whether or not the forearms are getting worked out?? I'm trying to create a routine for myself, and I'd rather start doing a workout that DOES hit my forearms and not a workout that DOESN'T hit my forearms. Thanks.
