Exercise Description

The incline dumbbell curl targets your biceps from a stretched position, giving you better muscle activation and growth than regular curls.

How To

1. Set an incline bench to 45-60 degrees and sit back with a dumbbell in each hand 2. Let your arms hang naturally with palms facing forward, feeling a stretch in your biceps 3. Curl both dumbbells up by squeezing your biceps, keeping your upper arms still 4. Squeeze at the top of the incline dumbbell curl, then slowly lower the weights back down 5. Control the negative and feel the stretch before starting your next rep

Form Tips

• Keep your back pressed against the bench throughout the entire incline dumbbell curl movement • Don't let your shoulders roll forward - keep your chest up and shoulders back • Focus on the stretch at the bottom - this is where the incline dumbbell curl shines • Use a full range of motion but don't let the weights swing or bounce at the bottom

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the dumbbells instead of controlling the incline dumbbell curl • Moving your upper arms forward during the curl, which takes tension off your biceps • Not taking advantage of the stretch position that makes the incline dumbbell curl so effective
