Incline Dumbbell Curl

Starting Position

• Sit on an incline bench with your back and shoulders pressed firmly against the bench.
• Hold a pair of dumbbells by your sides, palms facing inwards.
• Your arms should be fully extended and hang downwards.

The Movement

• Slowly curl one dumbbell towards your shoulder, rotating your forearm so that your palm faces your shoulder at the top of the movement.
• Hold for a count of two; then slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
• Repeat with the other arm and continue alternating arms.

Tips

• Do not allow your body to move forwards to generate momentum - keep your torso still.
• Make sure you fully straighten your arms at the bottom of the movement.
