Barbell preacher curls

TrenZ62 Posts: 25 Joined: 2003/06/22	2003/06/26, 01:53 PM I have a bar and a bench. I tried doing them leaning over the bench and pulled my shoulder. Would a couch work or do I have to buy another piece of equipment?

Standing against a wall doing a regular curl will work jus fine for a home gym. -------------- Contrary to popular belief, bouncing the weight does NOT work the muscle...huh...who\'d a thunk it. ~Dick

Was wondering if there's an equivalent for d/bells as I don't always have access to a b/bell. Tried using d/bells today but it ended up a bit like a hammer curl. Was wondering if there's a way to do this exercise with d/bells or whether a hammer was a good substitute. Any thoughts welcome.

The only b/bell at my gym is in the cage and that just doesn't feel right. Someone in the gym told me I could use the curl bar with a close grip and just raise it as high as I could up to my shoulders with my elbows pointing outward. That don't seem right either. Can anyone shed some light please? Thanks much. ============ Quoting from t-babe: One of the exercises in my workout is a reverse grip b/bell curl.
