Why: Dumbbell preacher curls are useful for changing the upper arm angle on your biceps curls, giving the muscles a different type of pump. The EZ bar and specialized bench or machine setup might be more common in big box gyms, but you can do preacher curls anywhere with dumbbells and an adjustable bench.

How to Do It:

• Set up from behind the bench, laying the back of your arm against its inclined surface and "hugging" your armpit to the top. Squat down and engage your glutes, hamstrings, and abs.
• Curl the weight up, making sure to keep your upper arm glued to the bench and keeping the wrist in a neutral position. Keep the range of motion away from resting at the bottom or top of the movement so the weight is in a position of constant tension.
• Lower back down to the starting position.
