How to do it
The incline dumbbell bicep curl stretches the biceps by starting with the arms behind the body.
Seated on a bench inclined at about 45°, back against the backrest, let a dumbbell hang in each hand, palms facing forward.
Bend your elbows to curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders without moving your elbows forward, then lower slowly until arms are straight.
Use a lighter weight than for the standing curl: the stretched position makes the exercise harder.
