How to do it
- Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle and sit on it with a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing forward.
- Rest your upper arms on the incline bench and let your elbows hang down, fully extending your arms.
- Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights while contracting your biceps.
- Continue to raise the dumbbells until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level.
- Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
- Inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
