How to: Dumbbell Incline Biceps Curl (70 degrees)
- Sit on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand.
- Allow your arms to hang straight down but in a controlled manner.
- Curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders while keeping your elbows close to your body.
- Squeeze at the top of the curl and then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the start position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing your elbows to flare out too much.
- Using momentum to lift the weights rather than isolating the biceps.
