Barbell Curls Lying Against An Incline

Isolate your biceps with this incline-supported curl variation.

By lying against an incline bench, this curl variation eliminates swinging and keeps constant tension on the biceps. It’s ideal for strict, focused muscle activation.

Instructions

  1. Lie back on an incline bench holding a barbell with your arms extended downward.
  2. Keeping your upper arms still, curl the bar up as high as you can.
  3. Squeeze your biceps at the top, then lower the bar slowly to the start position.
  4. Avoid using momentum or shoulder movement.
  5. Repeat for the target number of repetitions.
