Dumbbell Preacher Curl (Turned Torso)

Muscles involved

Changing your body angle slightly can make a world of difference when isolating stubborn muscles. The dumbbell preacher curl (turned torso) forces you to lock in your position so your biceps take on every ounce of work without relying on momentum. By tweaking your posture on the pad while holding your dumbbells, you wake up the upper arm fibers in a unique way that heavily impacts your daily life. Having strong, resilient biceps improves your capability to carry heavy groceries, lift objects cleanly, and perform everyday pulling tasks effortlessly. Eliminating body sway ensures that all the mechanical stress stays strictly on the target muscle, building genuine arm strength you will feel both inside and outside the gym.

How to do it

1. Sit on a preacher curl bench, resting your right arm on the pad with your armpit firmly pressed against the top, and grip a dumbbell with your palm facing up. 2. Curl the dumbbell up by flexing your bicep, keeping your torso slightly turned to emphasize the peak. 3. Pause at the top of the curl, squeezing your bicep for a hard contraction. 4. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting extended position.
