Dumbbell Incline Biceps Curl (70 Degrees)
The incline dumbbell curl on a bench set steep, near 70°; the arms hang less far behind the body, so the stretch at the bottom is milder than on a lower incline.
How to do it
Setup
Seated with the back against a bench set near 70°, dumbbells hanging at arm's length beside it, palms forward.
Steps
- Curl both bells to the shoulders, head and back on the pad.
- Keep the elbows pointing at the floor.
- Lower slowly into the full hang.
Common mistakes
Shoulders peeling off the backrest at the top: stay against it. Elbows swinging forward: they hang straight down and stay there. Cutting the bottom short: finish each rep with straight arms.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
