If you’re scared of preacher curls STOP DOING THIS

[bababoi]

I just love how that one single bicep tear video traumatized 90% of the gym community 😭😭

[Satu-xrp]

Ngl preacher curl videos scared me for life on those. They aint for me i still go heavy just not on that machine 😂

[Harshulzzz]

Perfect example of how to confuse people or to quit it .

[DriftScale]

Well if you have muscular imbalances due to form and stuff then that could be potentially beneficial, as it allows you to train the upper half of the bicep rather than the lower. And vice versa if the upper part of the bicep is overdeveloped, you can do half reps to train the lower half

[wtfurlookingat]

With that form and a controlled movement its more beneficial for the biceps theres always load

I have been lifting for a year and haven't been able to interpret a single one of this dudes videos

[rcl_connrad]

Still one of my favorite exercises other than bench press

Highly informational video, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain what's going wrong and how to fix it. Super useful for beginners.

‘That’ video is the fitness equivalent of that Highway scene in Final Destination II 😅

My bicep feels like it wants to fall sideways

There are safer options to get a better long head in the biceps. Preacher curls are high risk high reward (like bench pressing). In both if you fail to keep a perfect form you risk getting an awful injury.

As a side note: other high risk and high reward excercises are the Ez barbell and Barbel bucep curls. Some who go full extension tear their tendons however there are many persons who don't fully extend their arms in the negative who also recive a decent muscle activation (despite not being full range of motion but obviously safer)

It’s really amazing that your preacher curl machine allows full ROM
And there is the highest tension at the top
And the least tension at the bottom where there is the highest injury risk

"I fear no man but that thing... scares me"

[bker]

Basically if you fully extend your arms on bigger weight you can tear your biceps, that's why atleast for me it's better to not fully extend the arm since your biceps is under the stress all the time, therefore there is less chance of your bicep tearing if you do heavier weights

(Correct me if im wrong, im pretty sure i saw this statement somewhere else so i'm not fully sure)

[riikoskeem]

So despite it not being a full range of motion, what's wrong with that constant tension?

That one legendary preacher curl vid, and I'm probably thinking the same think with you guys💀
