Dumbbell Incline Curl

Description

• Setup: Set an adjustable bench to an incline of approximately 45 to 60 degrees.
• Starting Position: Sit back against the bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Let your arms hang straight down toward the floor with your palms facing forward (supinated grip).
• The Curl: Keeping your upper arms stationary and shoulders pinned back against the bench, exhale and curl the weights upward toward your shoulders.
• Peak Contraction: Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of the movement, ensuring your elbows do not swing forward.
• The Descent: Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, maintaining full control and feeling the stretch in the biceps.
