Exercise Description

The zottman preacher curl builds bigger biceps and stronger forearms in one move. It hits your biceps on the way up and hammers your forearms on the way down.

How To

1. Sit at a preacher bench holding dumbbells with an underhand grip, arms resting on the pad 2. Curl the weights up slowly, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement 3. At the top, rotate your wrists so your palms face down in an overhand grip 4. Lower the dumbbells slowly with the overhand grip to work your forearms during the zottman preacher curl 5. Rotate back to underhand grip at the bottom and repeat the zottman preacher curl movement

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight and core tight throughout the entire zottman preacher curl movement • Control the weight on the way down - this is where the real forearm work happens • Don't let your elbows flare out to the sides during the curl • Use a full range of motion but don't lock out your elbows completely at the bottom

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and losing control during the lowering phase of the zottman preacher curl • Rotating the wrists too early or forgetting to rotate them completely at the top • Moving too fast through the zottman preacher curl and missing out on the forearm benefits
