What It Is
A guided curl with your arms braced on a pad. Your body can't help, so the front of your upper arms does all the work.
How to Do It
Set the seat so your armpits rest snugly on the top of the pad. Grip the handles with palms up and arms nearly straight. Curl the handles toward your shoulders, then lower them slowly until your arms are almost straight.
Skill Level
Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.
Type
Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.
Engagement
Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
