Lever Preacher Curl
The lever preacher curl is a strength training exercise performed on a leverage machine, primarily targeting the biceps with secondary activation of the forearms. It involves curling the handles upward while keeping the upper arms supported on a pad, which isolates the biceps and minimizes cheating.
