The dumbbell incline bench hammer curl is a variation of the traditional bicep curl exercise that targets not only the biceps but also the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles of the forearm. This curl is performed on an incline bench, which provides better isolation of the biceps and reduces the potential for cheating with body momentum.
Let's get started by setting up an incline bench press. Then lie on the bench with your feet firmly on the floor. Grab your dumbbells and have them dangling by your side, with the palms facing inward.
This is the starting position.
From here, curl the dumbbells up by flexing at your elbows. Once fully flexed, lower the weights carefully back down to the starting position. Keep your palms facing inwards throughout. This is one repetition, now repeat for the desired amount.
