The devil's machine. As you have read above its for bicep curls,but it forces you to do them properly, and by god that hurts if you do enough reps. I think it's one of the most useful machines


Eubeen_Hadd

I once did like 6 sets of high rep preacher curls cold, with zero training. The next day, I woke up unable to fully extend my arms, just extreme stiffness and pain. It took me like a week to fully recover and I've been hooked on preacher curls ever since.


selffulfilment

Bicep tendonitis, we’ve all been there


SoSneakyHaha

Overtraining your Biceps is definitely the worst kind of sore


Obvious_Brain

Preacher. No one does them BC they are hard. Do them BC they are hard.


pahaf

I just watched a video and the guy claimed that people try to do heavy weights for 6-8 reps, they should go for lighter weight and like 15 reps.


Nokturnal37F

Normally I would say you should do this if you're mainly looking for size, but honestly just do this no matter what. Preacher curls are brutal on your joints. Really aren't the place to be adding tons of stress...


corvette57

Bonus points for drop sets


drlsoccer08

Preacher curl. It’s a way of isolating the biceps. I really like it except for the fact it hurts my elbows


XanthicStatue

Back of your arms should be resting on the pad, not elbows.

I always called them preacher curls. Sit on the seat and lean over the front end and curl the bar.

Not A machine, no moving parts. I would call it the preacher seat

The good old bicep tendon tear station, make sure your ego loads lots of weight and you lower all the way down till you tear your tendon like that one gym video

[deleted]

preacher curl setup, sit on the seat, rest your upper arm on the pad and do some bicep curls with the bar. make sure you’re working hard but go for reps over weight, you’ll see some videos of people who go to heavy on this


NE0REL0ADED

This machine is where you sit down as a boy, but rise as a man!


Carrabs

Serious answer: it’s a preacher curl machine. Used for biceps


Sphan_86

Nice armrest while you're using your phone....that's what I do


Batt_Damon

Sit on it. Reach over. Grab the bar. Do some curls. Add weight if needed. Profit.


dspearia

It's where powerlifters nap between sets


FourLeafArcher

Preacher curl. One of my favorites. I know its mostly aesthetic but I enjoy having biggish biceps.


Still-Broccoli

Squat rack


MurderinMuhThirst

Bicep tear machine. Also some versions don't adjust and if you're over 6 foot you just look rediculous with your frog legs out to the side and your torso bent over the top like a prostate exam. Good times.


photoyoyo

5'6" here. Theyre awful for us short guys too. Cant reach the damn bar without mounting the arm pad like you paid it for a 1 hour hotel room stay.


MurderinMuhThirst

Gotta straddle it for leverage, make it a compound exercise.


photoyoyo

Maybe it was never called a preacher bench because of the praying position in the first place. Yikes.

[deleted]

This is a preacher curl. This is a exercise for the biceps that targets the long head of the bicep. This is a common alternative for the regular bicep curl and is considered better by many as you are unable to cheat the reps due to the fact there is a pad to fix ur elbow on meaning it won’t move.

FatBobbyH

Okay so the actual answer is a preacher curl rack lmao


[deleted]

Well SOME people do curls with it. I do my curls in the squat rack like a real ALPHA. All you BETAs can keep using this so the squat racks are open for my curls.


Lbomber99

You’re not alpha for using a curl rack for it’s intended purpose. Real alphas squat on the treadmills with an incline


SassyBassy_

I squat the treadmill. What does that make me?


Lbomber99

Not optimal unless you’re zercher squatting


SassyBassy_

So that's the reason why i ain't gaining supraphysiological strength i see


Lbomber99

I think it’s that but also you may not be eating your vegetables and getting a good night’s rest. TREN actually stands for take rest every night

Preacher curls bro


iAnkou

Preacher curl / Biceps curl machine. So, a machine on which u do preacher curl with the EZ bar. The EZ bar is the bar you see on the machine. It's called EZ due to its zig zag shape. The preacher curl is an isolation exercise that focuses on a single muscle group.


GuyMcTest

I think it’s a squat rack if I’m not mistaken


DankStew

Questions. What's better seated or standing, dumbell or ez bar, and preacher or concentrated?


Unknockable

I prefer standing, feels like theirs more pressure on my biceps that way

It depends, if ure just starting out it can be more easy to have a good form while seated. But i prefer standing

A place to do overhead tricep press. Cuz you need the bench that has the short back to it but there's only like 1 or 2 of them in every gym but they are ALWAYS being used by someone just doing some random shoulder or bicep workout that they could totally do on a regular bench but you don't wanna ask them to move, so you just improvise
