The Dumbbell Incline Biceps Curl exercise is a variation of the traditional biceps curl that targets the biceps muscles from a different angle. This exercise is performed on an incline bench, which helps to isolate the biceps and prevent swinging or cheating during the movement.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for the Dumbbell Incline Biceps Curl exercise:1. Set up an incline bench at a 45-degree angle and grab a pair of dumbbells of appropriate weight.
2. Sit on the incline bench with your back resting against the pad and your feet firmly planted on the ground.
3. Hold the dumbbells at arm's length with your palms facing forward and your arms fully extended, allowing the weights to hang naturally at your sides.
4. Slowly curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your sides and your wrists straight.
5. Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form throughout the exercise.
7. To increase the challenge, you can perform the Dumbbell Incline Biceps Curl with a supinated grip (palms facing up) or a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
