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