How to do Incline Dumbbell Bicep Curls
This video talks about how to do dumbbell bicep curls using an inclined bench. Start by leaning back on the bench, making sure to isolate your shoulders. From there, all you need to do is lift and hold your bicep curls. Mike also shows you how to do hammer curls instead.
Step 1: Recline on Inclined Bench
The first step you'll need to take is simply to have a seat on the inclined bench. Make sure that your shoulders are back against the bench so that they don't move. You don't want to stress your shoulders unnecessarily with this exercise, and your biceps are the only muscle group that you're attempting to work with bicep curls.
Step 2: Perform Curl
Once you're confident that you are seated correctly on the inclined bench, you're ready to pick up and lift the dumbbells. It may be best to place the dumbbells on either side of the bench ahead of time so that you can reach them on the floor without moving from the correct seating position on the bench. Simply lift the dumbbells and hold the curl at the top of your lift to make sure your biceps are getting the proper workout.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JONvK1ocwc
Step 3: Dumbbell Bicep Curl Variations
In addition to the regular bicep curl, which involves holding the dumbbell horizontally as it's raised, try holding it with the ends facing in front of you and behind you. The motion of your curls should be somewhat similar to the motion of swinging a hammer. The physical movement in each version is the same, but your wrist will be in a different position.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JONvK1ocwc
