MOVEMENT SPOTLIGHT: Reverse Curl vs Reverse Preacher Curl 💪
Both of these moves use the same overhand grip, but the way you perform them changes the challenge.
A reverse curl is done standing, giving you a freer range of motion and letting your stabilisers do more of the work. It’s a solid option if you want to go a little heavier while still targeting the forearms and brachialis.
In contrast, the reverse preacher curl locks your arms into position on the bench. That strict setup removes momentum and forces your forearms and brachialis to take the entire load from start to finish. The result? Constant tension, a slower burn, and a bigger emphasis on isolation.
🔥 Reverse Curl – Great for strength and overall arm development with room to load up.
🔥 Reverse Preacher Curl – Stricter, more controlled, and unbeatable for pure isolation.
Both deserve a place in your training—one builds power, the other builds precision.
