A biceps and forearm exercise performed on an incline bench with a neutral grip. The inclined support changes the arm position while the hammer grip emphasizes the brachialis and brachioradialis.
Set an incline bench to a 30-45 degree angle.
Sit back on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand, arms fully extended, and palms facing each other.
Keep your elbows close to your body and curl the dumbbells upward by flexing your elbows.
Continue curling until your forearms are vertical or slightly past vertical.
Squeeze your biceps at the top of the movement.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Maintain a neutral wrist position throughout the exercise to avoid strain.
Focus on keeping your elbows stationary to maximize bicep engagement.
Use a controlled motion to prevent momentum from assisting in the lift.
Exhale as you curl the weights up and inhale as you lower them down.
Ensure your back remains firmly against the bench to isolate the arms effectively.
Start with lighter weights to perfect form before increasing resistance.
