Alternate Incline Dumbbell Curl

Isolate and strengthen your biceps with this incline dumbbell variation.

This incline variation of the dumbbell curl creates a deeper stretch on the biceps, forcing them to work harder through a full range of motion. By alternating arms, you increase focus and control, making it an excellent addition to any upper-body strength routine.

Instructions

  1. Sit on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand, arms extended and elbows close to your torso. This is your starting position.
  2. Keeping your upper arm stationary, curl the right dumbbell while rotating your wrist so the palm faces upward.
  3. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
  4. Repeat the curl with your left arm. This completes one rep.
  5. Continue alternating arms for the desired number of repetitions.
