I actually like this better than the Arm Blaster because to me, the Arm Blaster never felt quite right in how it set my shoulders.
This allows you to find a more natural position while still getting the bracing benefits.
Literally all you need to do is face the other way on the Preacher Bench and brace the backs of your arms against the top edge of the pad.
Be sure you don't set the pad too low or there will be a tendency to roll your elbows up over the pad. We want to avoid this.
I found when the pad sits just below the "meat" of the triceps, it felt about right, but feel free to experiment with height.
Then just curl up, keeping your palms facing forward. Focus on keeping your arms against the pad.
It will LOOK like you're only coming up 3/4 of the way but that's because the bracing forces you to keep your upper arm vertical and the arm doesn't flex any more than that.
If you find you use too much momentum when doing curls, give this one a try...and set your ego aside and go lighter than you think you need to. The biceps really respond well to strict curl movements.
Seated Clamp Dumbbell Curls are another excellent option for strict curling.

Are you 40...50...60 or even 70+ years old and want to build muscle and strength like you did 20 years ago?
If you feel like you're fighting a losing battle, you're ready to discover the REAL secret to REVERSING muscle loss due to aging...
*** You need to train the body systems that SUPPORT your muscle mass, not just the muscle itself. ***
These underlying support systems diminish as you age, which is why you lose muscle as you get older no matter how hard you train... but with strategic training, these systems can be regenerated.
