Incline Dumbbell Curl

A form-intense curl variation to target the biceps by reducing shoulder involvement.

Instructions

• Set an incline bench to about 30-45 degrees.
• Sit on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand.
• Let your arms hang straight down to start, keeping your elbows close to your body.
• Curl the weights while keeping your upper arms stationary.
• Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back down.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Swinging the weights or using momentum instead of controlled curling.
• Allowing elbows to flare out or move forward.
• Using too heavy weights leading to improper form.
