Incline Curls

Description

The single arm bench curl can be used as an alternative to the preacher curl if your facility is not equipped with the preacher bench. Performing one arm at a time (which this method forces you to do) prevents one arm from compensating for the other - a common occurrence while performing duel arm movements when strength imbalances exist between the muscles.

Execution

1. Adjust the bench to the appropriate settings and select an appropriately weighted dumbbell.
2. Place your arm over the bench so that the triceps are in contact with the padding of the bench. There should be only a slight bend at the elbow.
3. Exhale, flex at the elbow and curl the dumbbell up towards the shoulder.
4. Inhale, extend at the elbow and lower the weight back down to starting position at a controlled speed.
5. Repeat until the desired number of repetitions are completed.
