redpill (or bluepill) me on preacher curls Veeky Forums.
I'm not necessarily a beginner at lifting, but I wouldn't consider myself intermediate yet.
Long story short, I want to replace DB curls with preacher curls. Is this wise? Should I stick with DB/BB curls, or maybe both?
I personally like how challenging preacher curls feel (maybe because I don't do them often).
Thoughts?

Isolation vs stabilizers. There you go.
First of all, you can do preacher curls with dumbells...
They put you at a much higher risk for a bicep tear though.
the ultimate normie workout
I know that, but i'm wondering if it's worth it to even do preacher curls.
I like them I guess, but I don't see the point.
I'm making this thread to discuss whether or not it's worth it to incorporate them into my workout, replace regular curls, or if they're a waste of time
I think its worth it to incorporate them if you limit the range of motion to the top 3/4ths of the movement. A lot of big guys and pros swear by them, most notably CT Fletcher.
You probably get a better pump because there is more tension throughout the full ROM.
3/4 ROM is what I do with them currently. I think I'll incorporate them once a week for a now and if I notice a difference at all with my other lifts I'lol increase the frequency.
just do both?
Preacher curls let you go heavier on the weight
I don't think people should be doing heavy curls in general though unless you enjoy running the risk of tearing biceps normally
