Exercise:

Incline Dumbbell Curls

Target Muscle:

Biceps

Secondary Muscle:

Shoulders

Equipment Needed:

Dumbbells, Incline Bench

Proper Execution:

Tilt the bench on a slight incline and pick up a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing in. Using only one arm at a time, curl the weight up and rotate your wrist so that your palm is facing your body at the top of the movement. Pause briefly at the top, squeeze your bicep and then return the weight to the starting position. Alternate between arms until you reach muscular failure.

Tips:

Do not curl the weight so high that the tension leaves your bicep. Also remember not to use jerky motions or momentum to lift the weight and instead stay in control of the dumbbells at all times.
