Incline Bench Curl

Muscle Worked

Biceps

Instructions

• Lie on an incline exercise bench with a dumbbell in each hand, palms held upwards.
• Let your arms extend straight down near your sides.
• Keeping your arms close to your body throughout the exercise, slowly lift the dumbbells upward as high as possible (approximately chest height) without letting your elbows leave your sides.
• Hold for a brief second flexing your biceps.
• Return to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.

Don'ts

• Don't let your back arch or rise from the bench in an attempt to accomplish the exercise.
• Keep your back flat against the bench at all times.
• Don't just let the weights drop to the starting position. Resist the weight while slowly lowering it.
• Don't let your elbows move upwards, away from your side. Keep your elbows at a "fixed-point" on your sides.
