Dumbbell Incline Curl
The dumbbell incline curl is an isolation exercise targeting the biceps. Performed on an incline bench, it emphasizes the stretch and contraction of the biceps by reducing the involvement of the shoulders. This exercise is effective for building biceps strength and size.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique

- 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.
- 6.Inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- 7.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
