How to do Flexor Incline Dumbbell Curls - Biceps

Flexor incline dumbbell curls are designed to isolate the biceps completely. Another good thing about this exercise is, that the stretch position for the biceps is already included. This is because of the angle between shoulders and trunk and also because the thumbs point away from the body.

Description: Flexor Incline Dumbbell Curls - Biceps

* Sit on an incline bench (backlean adjusted to appr 45°). Let your arms hang down on your sides and grab two dumbbells with the thumbs pointing away from the body. The thumbs should point away from the body during the whole exercise and the weights should not be twisted while curled up. Keep your shoulders close to the bench.
* Curl up the two dumbbells at the same time until your biceps are fully contracted and exhale. Don't create momentum by swinging your arms.
* Let the weights sink back down until your biceps are relaxed and inhale. Don't move too far or too fast! You might injure your elbows if you extend your arms totally. However - extending the elbows totally can help to stretch the biceps at this point. If you decide to do straighten your elbows totally, only if you move the weights very very slow.
* Try not to move your upper arms too much when you move the weights up and down.
