Exercise Description

The prone incline barbell curl targets your biceps with maximum stretch and isolation. This position stops you from cheating and forces clean muscle growth.

How To

1. Set an incline bench to 45 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, shoulder-width apart 3. Keep your chest pressed against the bench and curl the barbell up by flexing your biceps 4. Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of the prone incline barbell curl movement 5. Lower the weight slowly with control back to the starting position and repeat

Form Tips

• Keep your chest flat against the bench throughout the entire prone incline barbell curl movement • Don't swing or use momentum - let your biceps do all the work • Squeeze the barbell tight to activate more muscle fibers • Control the weight down slowly for better muscle growth

Common Mistakes

• Lifting your chest off the bench during the prone incline barbell curl ruins the isolation effect • Using too much weight leads to poor form and reduces muscle activation • Dropping the weight too fast misses out on the muscle-building benefits of the negative portion
