How to Perform the dumbbell incline curl

Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle and sit on it with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward.

2

Rest your upper arms on the incline bench and let your elbows hang down, fully extending your arms.

3

Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights while contracting your biceps.

4

Continue to raise the dumbbells until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level.

5

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.

7

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
