#DUMBBELL CURL FULL#
Setting the bench to an incline and lying back on it, allows you to really work the bicep through the full range of movement for this exercise with extra support from the bench. Tip: Make sure the little finger is higher than the thumb at the top of the movement for the arm you are curling, ensuring a strong bicep contraction. Locking the elbow against your inner thigh will concentrate the work load directly through the bicep. This exercise can be made easier by using lighter dumbbells or try improvising with a water bottle in each hand. Keeping tension through the bicep slowly lower the dumbbells back to your side. Ensure your back and torso remain upright and against the bench throughout the movement.ģ. The seated position means you can really isolate those biceps, rather than relying on other muscles to general momentum. Keep your elbows tucked into your side and curl the dumbbell up towards the shoulder.
