Preacher Curls and Back
TweetWhen I do Preacher Curls, I can always feel it in the middle of my upper back the next day. I am pretty sure that has to do with pulling with my shoulders rather than specifically isolating the biceps. No matter how hard I focus, I obviously haven't seemed to figure it out yet. Does anyone have any technique or focusing tips for this issue?

TweetYeah, I raise the pad up a little and then I stick one of those aerobic steps under the seat side of the bench. What this does is it shortens the bicep more and then angles the pad down so I still have resistance at the top of the movement. I see these guys all the time do that exercise with it normal and when they come all the way up, the bar is directly above their elbow.....well.....that's not working the biceps! You need for the whole thing to be at an angle to where you still have resistence at the top or else it's useless IMO. Also, I don't do anything on preachers if I can't control it 100% with my biceps only. If I'm going to use heavier weight with cheat reps I do it on alternate db's and bb curls, not something like preachers where it increases the risk for injury.
I used to have superhuman powers....until my therapist took them away.

TweetGet some mobility in the T4-8 region as well. Use a foam roller keeping your neck straight and stable, roll with it under your mid-back. Then stretch your lats on a swiss ball (hard to explain). Make sure your bracing with your core as well during the movement otherwise you will transfer force to the weaker parts of your spine.
Just some thoughts.

Re: Preacher Curls and Back
Tweetif your position on the pad is correct, then try dropping a little weight and go for higher reps...thats what i had to do. (reps on the 12 range)
