Exercise Description
Incline Dumbbell Biceps Curl activates the muscles in your bicep more than any other exercise. While performing an incline dumbbell bicep curl, your arms tend to move behind your body, which stretches the long head of the biceps.
Exercise Instructions
-
Step 1
Hold a pair of dumbbells and sit on an incline bench at a 45-degree angle. Pull your shoulder blades back and let the dumbbells hang by your sides, palms facing forward. -
Step 2
Bend the dumbbells up, bending your elbows and transferring both weights to your shoulders. Pause and lower your arms back to the starting position.
