#Info – Incline Dumbbell Curl
The Incline Dumbbell Curl effectively targets the biceps by increasing the range of motion. To avoid common mistakes, ensure your elbows remain stationary and do not swing the weights for momentum. Keep your shoulders back against the bench to maintain proper form. Adjust the bench angle to change intensity; a steeper incline puts more stress on the biceps. Beginners should start with lighter weights, focusing on form, while advanced users can increase weight or reps. To prevent muscle imbalances, perform the curls with a controlled tempo, emphasizing both the lifting and lowering phases.
