Just need pronation and supanation, I’d just do any comfortable curl with your palm up, and one with your palm down or facing the wall aka hammer

I do preacher curls currently, is just that enough for biceps?
I would do 1 maybe 2 more depending on ur split. hammer curls aren’t a bad idea cuz it hits a different part of the bicep also biasin curls and seated incline curls go good with preacher curls.

Do a reverse curl or a hammer curl, and then any curl of your choice.

I personally do cable reverse curls then normal cable curls because of its convenience and efficiency . You only need two bicep exercises

Watch tnf, hes one of the most currently scientifically literate lifting creators atm.
But just do a range of isolated movements at different angles and movement paths and youll be good

Good choice, reverse curls are superior to hammer curls. Even exercise science shows that full pronation hits brachioradialis even harder than neutral grip, supposedly because biceps is at such a mechanical disadvantage in full pronation. ALSO reverse curls are superior over hammer curls at engaging the other forearm muscles and secondary arms flexors!! Hammer curls are like a proletarian craftsman worksman peasant version of the princely reverse curls.

It is both a good near "whole forearms" exercise and brachioradialis and brachialis exercise. Complement with a fully supinated curl variation and you've hit all the arm flexors maximally well. Also I recommend performing this lift super strict even if it means using very light weight, much better at making the exercise useful and effective.

Good thing about preacher curls are that they enforce 100% strictness and hardly can be cheated. I think regular supinated curls are better though as long as you enforce 100% strictness but most guys can't do that, reason being that short head of biceps cannot suffer from active insufficiency when the shoulder is not flexed, like on a regular standing strict curl, but most guys use garbage form on those so preacher curls are better.
