The Dumbbell Incline Curl exercise is a variation of the traditional bicep curl that specifically targets the biceps while also engaging the muscles of the shoulders and forearms. Performing this exercise on an incline bench helps to isolate the biceps and provides a greater range of motion.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Sit on an incline bench set at a 45-degree angle with a dumbbell in each hand resting on your thighs. Your palms should be facing forward.
2. Slowly lower the dumbbells down towards the floor, keeping your upper arms stationary and your elbows close to your body.
3. Without moving your upper arms, curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
6. Make sure to maintain a controlled tempo throughout the exercise and avoid swinging the weights.
7. Focus on contracting your biceps throughout the movement for optimal results.
8. To increase or decrease the difficulty of the exercise, you can adjust the weight of the dumbbells or the bench angle.
