Incline Bicep Curls

What You'll Need
An incline bench (you know, a bench that allows you to recline a bit) and a set of dumbbells.

Why You Should Be Doing This Exercise
"Why do this curl if I'm already doing 9 permutations of bicep curls?" you ask. Because the incline is what a great post-presence is to the dribble-drive… It's the neutralizer. You can't cheat, so let's get stronger through complete isolation shall we?

Start
Adjust the bench so that you're you're at a 45 degree angle. Grab a dumbbell in each hand, sit down, and make sure you're centered on the bench. That means shoulders and chest facing straight. Your arms should be dangling straight down, and your palms facing the ceiling (with your body in between them).

Middle
To curl the weight up, let's take it slow and keep your palms up. The dumbbells will end up at your shoulders, and at that point, your palms will be facing your shoulders.

Finish
At the top of the curl, let's take a moment before "un-curling" the bar back to your starting position (arms extended, elbows tucked, eyes hungry for more). In other words, at the top, squeeze the pipes to make this workout what it can be.

Key Don'ts
The incline's gonna kill any swing possibilities, so the only undefined variable is whether your elbows behave, or act a fool. Let's rein them in okay? Nice and close to the body. Also, the slower you go, the less anything but your bicep will be doing in this exercise. And that's a good thing. Lastly, keep those palm up the whole time and you'll really get your money's worth.
