Prone Incline Curl

This curl keeps things strict - no swinging, just pure biceps work. Lying on an incline bench helps isolate the arms and minimizes help from your shoulders or back. Whether you're holding a barbell or dumbbells, it's a focused way to build strength and control in your curls. Perfect for bears who want strong arms with clean form.

Instructions

1. Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle.
2. Grab a pair of dumbbells and lie face down on the bench with your chest supported.
3. Allow your arms to hang straight down, palms facing each other.
4. Curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders while keeping your upper arms stationary.
5. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement.
6. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
