Exercise Description

The one arm prone dumbbell curl builds bigger, stronger biceps while lying face down. This position stops you from cheating and forces your biceps to do all the work.

How To

1. Lie face down on an incline bench set at 45 degrees, holding a dumbbell in one hand 2. Let your arm hang straight down with your shoulder over the edge of the bench 3. Keep your core tight and curl the dumbbell up by flexing your bicep 4. Squeeze at the top of the one arm prone dumbbell curl, then slowly lower back down 5. Complete all reps on one side before switching to the other arm

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulder pressed against the bench throughout the entire one arm prone dumbbell curl movement • Move slowly and control the weight - don't let momentum take over • Squeeze your bicep hard at the top of each rep • Don't let your elbow flare out to the side during the one arm prone dumbbell curl

Common Mistakes

• Swinging the weight up instead of using your bicep to curl it during the one arm prone dumbbell curl • Lifting your shoulder off the bench pad for extra momentum • Lowering the weight too fast on the way down during your one arm prone dumbbell curl reps
