The Dumbbell Incline Hammer Curl is an isolation exercise that targets the biceps and forearms. The incline position helps to isolate the biceps and prevents momentum from being used to lift the dumbbells.
How to perform
Here are step by step instructions for performing the Dumbbell Incline Hammer Curl:1. Adjust the incline bench to a 45-degree angle and sit down with a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Let your arms hang down by your sides with your palms facing each other (neutral grip).
3. Keep your back straight and elbows close to your sides.
4. Slowly curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders using only your forearm muscles.
5. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement and then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Make sure to keep your movements controlled and avoid swinging or using momentum to lift the dumbbells.
To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can use heavier dumbbells or perform a drop set (reducing the weight after reaching failure). Remember to always use proper form and start with a weight that allows you to perform the exercise correctly.
