Exercise Description

The alternate incline dumbbell curl builds bigger, stronger biceps by stretching them at the bottom. The incline position gives you a deeper range of motion than regular curls.

How To

1. Set an incline bench to 45-60 degrees and sit back with dumbbells in each hand 2. Let your arms hang straight down with palms facing forward - feel the stretch in your biceps 3. Curl one dumbbell up slowly while keeping your upper arm still against the bench 4. Lower the weight under control while starting the alternate incline dumbbell curl with your other arm 5. Keep alternating arms for the desired reps, maintaining constant tension on your biceps

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders back and pressed into the bench throughout the alternate incline dumbbell curl • Don't swing the weights - control the movement up and down • Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of each rep • Let your arms stretch fully at the bottom for maximum muscle activation

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the dumbbells instead of controlled curling • Moving your shoulders forward off the bench during the alternate incline dumbbell curl • Rushing through reps instead of focusing on the stretch and squeeze
