Reply With QuotePersonally I like 90 degrees...to do this I use the other side of the preacher bench...you can't lift as much but I find it works better and puts less stress on the joint.

So you set your preacher like this / and you face like this ----> /. If you can understand that. Do you set your elbows on top or hang them down.

I too agree. Preacher Curls, while I'm sure beneficial for some, have only left me with injuries.....like the one you described earlier in another discussion, FF.

My suggestion would be to keep it simple esp if you're a beginner....try Standing Barbell Curls and Seated Alternating Curls...just those two exercises will get your arms growing full speed ahead!
