Exercise Description

The lying barbell curl on incline bench exercise isolates your biceps better than standing curls. It stops momentum and forces your biceps to work harder.

How To

1. Set an incline bench to 45-60 degrees and lie face down with your chest against the pad. 2. Let your arms hang straight down and grip the barbell with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart. 3. Keep your upper arms pressed against the bench and curl the barbell up by squeezing your biceps. 4. Pause at the top when your biceps are fully contracted, then slowly lower the lying barbell curl on incline bench weight back down. 5. Control the weight on the way down and repeat for your target reps without swinging or using momentum.

Form Tips

• Keep your chest pressed firmly against the incline bench throughout the entire lying barbell curl on incline bench movement. • Don't let your elbows flare out wide - keep them close to your body for better bicep activation. • Squeeze your biceps hard at the top and take 2-3 seconds to lower the weight down slowly. • Never fully straighten your arms at the bottom to keep constant tension on your biceps during the lying barbell curl on incline bench.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the barbell up instead of controlling it with your biceps during the lying barbell curl on incline bench. • Lifting your chest off the bench pad, which turns this into a different exercise and reduces bicep isolation. • Dropping the weight too fast on the way down instead of using a slow, controlled negative for the lying barbell curl on incline bench.
