Preacher Curls ARE DANGEROUS 💀| Sam Sulek #Shorts #samsulek #preachercurls

Ngl when he showed the clip of the tatted guy using "full rom" I was scared it was gonna go -pop-

[toastiertoast]

I think the reason people get injured on a preacher curl or other movements similar, is because they are very weak at the bottom and so when the muscle is giving out, that’s where a tear happens

[cameronjws]

Remember, don’t neglect your tendons. They grow slower than muscles and are literally holding us together

[McDanMan]

FYI, that happens when you’re muscles aren’t used to full ROM and then use a weight that forces you into full extension. Always train with full range of movement. By never training full ROM and only training where your strong you’re significantly increasing the risk of a torn bicep.

[JakeS]

You have to train the bottom half like any other muscle. If you have always full straightened your arm on preachers, your tendon and bicep will be very strong in that position, and therefore it is extremely unlikely that it will tear. However, if you have stopped just before a full extension for years, and then you go heavy and fully extend, you will be at a significantly higher risk of tearing your bicep.

Preacher curls have actually been proven to be one of the best bicep exercise for strength and size, so to get the most out of this exercise and prevent a bicep tear when doing full ROM preacher curls:
1. use weight you can comfortably control (weight you can do at MINIMUM 8+ reps with).
2. Be sure to warm up your arms with a different workout (like a shoulder press, skull crushers or standing curls, etc).
3. Don't make preacher curls your first arm exercise.
4. Do a lighter warm-up set before doing your full (comfortable) weight.

(If you use anabolic steroids, then you have to be extra careful as steroids greatly increase muscle strength, but not much tendon strength, which is what causes a tear)

I like preacher curl because of the stretch at the bottom position. I think its really great way to end my bicep workout, however, I use light weights.

[Kemandime]

Tears usually happen to people on gear who DONT train in full ROM. straighten your arm on preachers. at low weight. get your tendons and muscles used to being at full extension under load. It'll make the lift safer overall.

[IsaacMorgan]

It's not misinformation, the only bad movements are ones you aren't prepared for. Now yeah I wouldn't reccomend Sam do heavy preachers with full ROM cause his movement quality is very low and his strength super high, from all the gear use, making his chance of injury much higher.

[David-vqp]

But if u keep curling in a constant swinging motion, it takes away from intensity eventually. That’s how u build the entire muscle is the full extension

[wrengehle]

Its only when people are hyper mobile or using load that they aren’t prepared for or can properly handle. Fully extended elbow with proper load creates a big stretch in the bicep and creates a ton of gains.

[justcallmebrody]

I always start my warmup on the preacher curl machine doing 1 arm curls, 3 sets 10, 20 and 30 pounds, then do a heavy set at 65 pounds 1 arm and then another set at 80 pounds 1 arm. Then go directly into 3-6 sets on barbell curls starting at 70, 80, 90 lbs and then back down at 50, 40, 30 lbs to get that fatigue. Then do 45, 40 and 35 lb dumbbell hammer curls. Anything after those exercises isn’t necessarily planned just whatever I feel like doing that day. If that didn’t feel like enough I’ll do some seated dumbbell curls and if it felt like it was perfect I’ll do some cable movements. Pretty straight forward.

Clout clouds minds. Glad to have someone in the media making content for people and not just themself.

[Uzi_]

How about…..doing a weight low enough to where your muscles can handle the tension and gradually progress through the months 😱🤯

[emmang]

Um it's not, you just might need to do what you so clearly hate...lower the load

[BigstickNick]

You can rip them on deadlifts with alternating curls the same way. It’s that tension, relax, tension movement.

[Empftin]

You're right. I have seen so many people get hurt doing that exercise. If you must, just use it as a light pump exercise to finish your biceps off.

[ryangallagher]

You should go straight on preachers but that is the hardest part so your lift should be set as difficult as the bottom and not so much at the top. Preacher is specifically for targeting the most extended bicep position.

[marcobenitez]

I think hes right about the stretching your arm thing.

[jotramgarhia]

I always keep my arms straight on preacher curls & It makes me feel my biceps way more.
