Use dumbbells more than barbells when you do these.

I rarely use the preacher curl but you can flip the pad around so your arms I guess should go down a bit more (I haven't tried it that way.. I always use it with the arch facing out).. I try to not roll my shoulders or rock my upper body.. but I don't ever seem to get much feeling in the upper area of my bicep.. pretty much the only thing I like to do that I see most people don't is extend my arm all the way down (to the arch of the pad since its facing out) and then curl up.. seems to make the lower part of my bicep sore.. most people I see start at the top of the curl.. lower it half way then curl back up.. not sure if that works.. but I guess whatever your comfortable doing... there should be a description for this exercise on FT on how to do this correctly if you look in muscle targeting/biceps..
