How to do it

  1. 01

    Grab an EZ-bar using a shoulder width and palms down (pronated) grip.

  2. 02

    Now place the upper part of both arms on top of the preacher bench and have your arms extended. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    As you exhale, use the biceps to curl the weight up until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbell is at shoulder height. Squeeze the biceps hard for a second at the contracted position.

  4. 04

    As you breathe in, slowly lower the barbell until your upper arms are extended and the biceps is fully stretched.

  5. 05

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Reverse Barbell Preacher Curls appears when you own an EZ bar and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have an EZ bar

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
