Inclined Dumbbell Curls

Inclined Dumbbell Curls

We’ve all done the dumbbell curl, but if you’re really trying to isolate your biceps a little better (when I say “better”, I mean “without cheating as much”), then I completely recommend trying out the incline dumbbell curl. Here’s how it’s done:

Find the incline bench at your gym; it’ll usually be its own thing, but sometimes you’ll have to actually pull the pin out and raise the normal bench yourself. Sit down on it with a dumbbell in each hand. (If this is your first time going it, then I recommend starting with about five pound less in each hand then you would normally do with the regular Dumbbell Curl) Start with your arms hanging loosely down by your sides.

As always, remember to keep your elbows close to your sides and just in front of your body (torso). Slowly begin to lift both arms – at the same time – in the normal motion of curling, and stop when you can’t lift them up any higher. Make sure you keep your arms balanced and as steady as you can while doing this lift.

Pause when you get to the top of the lift, then slowly lower your arms back down to where you started.

At the bottom, count to three to three and a half before starting another repetition. This should keep you from depending on the momentum of your arms to swing the dumbbells back up.

If done correctly, this really should minimize cheating, thereby giving yourself a much better workout.
