Instructions

  1. Hold a pair of dumbbells in your hands and sit on a 45-degree incline bench. Hold them at your side with your palms facing forward and each thumb touching the outer head of the dumbbell. Allow your arms to fully extend at your sides.
  2. Keeping your elbows pressed to your sides, tighten your biceps and lift the dumbbells up to your shoulders, raise them as high as possible while maintaining constant tension in the biceps. Pause and slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

Tips

  • Perform the movement at a controlled pace without allowing momentum to build up.
  • Don't let your elbows open. Keep your elbows pressed to your sides at all times.
