Incline Bench Hanging Curls

Description

One of the main detriments to the effectiveness of bicep training is the tendency people have to swing the body and use momentum to assist during movement execution. The incline bench hanging curl was designed with this in mind and forces you to perform each repetition with strict and proper form.

Execution

1. Select an appropriately weighted barbell and place it behind the incline bench you intend to work with.
2. Position the incline bench to a 35-45 degree angle.
3. Lie in a reverse position against the bench with the stomach against the padding.
4. Extend arms and have your training partner pass you the barbell.
5. Exhale and flex at the elbows to draw the weight up towards your chin. Briefly hold this position.
6. Inhale and extend at the elbows to lower the barbell back down to starting position.
7. Repeat until the desired number of repetitions are completed.
