a large automan (foot rest), or if you have a squat rack, put a towel over the bar and rest your elbows on it at a low position....?

if you do them correctly they isolate the bicep

i LOVE preachers (not the literal people that go around preaching to people..) lol

I did preacher curls today and the damn things made my biceps pump like crazy, get sore as hell and worked the shit out of them... oh that worthless exercise!

they're not that expensive clicke here

Hell, I bought a flat bench that has an interchangeable preacher bench and leg extension for $140. Not very expensive.

I constructed one that I use on my squat cage. It is the pad (about 2ft x 2ft) with 2 legs and a horizontal tube accross the top portion (on the backside of the pad). I set the legs about 12 inches in front of the cage and lean the pad back onto the rack pins. (Kind of like leaning a ladder against a wall, cept a lot shorter). I then slide my bench up to the pad. Cost me about $20 total. And that is with padding, fake leather covering, plywood (for pad), 1-inch steel tubing for the frame and cross piece.

Thanks for the help everyone.
