Preacher Curl — Teknik Analizi

Partial Range of Motion

Failing to fully extend the arms at the bottom or fully contract the biceps at the top reduces muscle activation and limits strength and hypertrophy gains. This often occurs due to using excessive weight, leading to an incomplete stretch and squeeze.

Lifting Shoulders Off Pad

Lifting the shoulders or upper back off the preacher bench pad during the curl indicates excessive momentum or weight. This shifts tension away from the biceps to the shoulders and lower back, increasing the risk of shoulder impingement or lumbar strain.

Hyperextending Elbows at Bottom

Allowing the elbows to hyperextend (lock out excessively) at the bottom of the movement places undue stress on the elbow joint and surrounding ligaments. This can lead to elbow pain, tendonitis, or even acute injury over time.
