Also known as:Alternating Incline Dumbell Curl

Leaning back on a bench makes each curl count - less momentum, more bicep work. Alternating arms keeps things balanced, perfect for bears building strength with control.

Instructions

  1. Sit on an incline bench set at a 45-degree angle with a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Let your arms hang down fully extended and keep your palms facing forward.
  3. Curl one dumbbell up while keeping your upper arm stationary.
  4. Squeeze your bicep at the top of the movement.
  5. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.
  6. Alternate arms and repeat.

Benefits
