Dumbbell Incline Curl

Coaching cues

• Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle and sit on it with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward.
• Rest your upper arms on the incline bench and let your elbows hang down, fully extending your arms.
• Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights while contracting your biceps.
• Continue to raise the dumbbells until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level.
• Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
• Inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
