Preacher peak, BG style.
Pin the arm. Earn the peak.
Standing curls let shoulders and momentum cheat. Preacher work pins the upper arm so the **biceps does the last of the job**. Old-school cue: train for size AND shape together — not just heavier curls.
Try this:
• EZ-bar preacher curl 3–4 × 8–15 (full stretch at bottom → curl to peak squeeze)
• DB preacher twist finisher 2–3 × 10–15 (pinky toward outer shoulder at the top — paints the outer sweep)
• Optional: 1–2 forced reps on the LAST set (partner's hands at the elbow, just enough)
Frequency: arms day, or after back day when bis are warm. Triceps elsewhere — this card is biceps-only.
Cues:
- "If the shoulder can help, it will. Pin the arm and make the bi earn it."
- "8–15 on preacher hits harder than 6 swinging standing curls."
- "Peak isn't a pose trick — it's full shortening under control."
Member-safe:
- Elbows cranky? Slight incline pad angle, stop short of painful lockout, or swap to spider curls.
- No need for contest forced-rep drama weekly — earn base sets first.
- Warm elbows with light cable curls before loading the preacher.
