Preacher pad

I use this for preachers every arm day, either with my Gungnir curl bar or my Savage BT bar with Voltra. Really great piece of equipment. Well made and durable. I hope to replace it with a bench attachment, but until then it’s been a great product. It’s easy to store out of the way on my wall control.

This is my favorite of AbMat products, I had a HVO preacher stand and prefer this plus it stores on top of my temple of gainz multi flight. Can use it anywhere, I use it on a rolling shop stool of all things and is super comfortable to use. Killer stretch and pump

It does fulfill its purpose, but I would say that it might be most useful in a small HomeGym where space is at a premium. I use it occasionally as a change of pace. It is well constructed and the padding is appropriate to make it usable.

It sits up on the top of the Wall Control because my son doesn’t like it. I like it, but I don’t do preacher curls that way since I have a machine for that and I like that better. I’m happy to support a good company that gets ideas from the community and collaborates with them. It’ll get used at some point. Quality and price are spot on.

AbMat Preacher pad is not a great especially people with a shorter torso and the pad did not fit me well at all. When I called customer service they said that they would take it back but I would have to pay shipping which I was not super happy about especially since I had already paid shipping to have it shipped and had also purchased many other items from them.

Great build quality, second worst and most useless product I’ve had from Abmat. Save your money and get a real preacher curl machine. Praying someone will buy mine on marketplace.

Pretty cool idea from Adam at GarageGymLab. Saves a lot of space, is lightweight and easy to store. A great preacher pad option for someone limited on space. The preacher pad does get a little bit uncomfortable and the pad starts to give at higher weight. After several years of use, I ended up upgrading to a dedicated preacher curl station.

Love the versatility of this piece. It’s easy to store, the build quality, size and foam density are great for this application. I use it either on my lap seated on a bench with free weights or on my lap squatting in front of my functional trainer for drop sets using performance pins. It allows me to do comfortable preacher curls without a dedicated unit.

Prior to the preacher pad I would do single arm preacher curls on my adjustable bench. Doing them that way worked great and I found I got a much better stretch with a weight that is more appropriate for the movement. I still primarily do single arm preacher curls on my adjustable bench, but I do like the option to do both arms to save time. I don’t do them as the image indicates. I still put them on my bench and my arm weight keeps it held down. If the pad had some kind of Velcro on the back with a strap that you could secure to another item that would be helpful for initial set up. Overall, the quality is great, it feels good, but it’s fun function/setup/price is lacking.

I had this for a bit before selling. The concept is kind of cool, a preacher curl set up with out having to have a dedicated piece. However I found the execution wasn't anything exceptional. What I mean by that is you could use other things you already own to brace your arm against and the set up would be much easier. Personally I feel like doing one arm preacher/concentration curls using an incline bench would be better and save you some money.
