Fire Up Your Bicep Exercises With Incline Curls

If your workouts are stagnating and you are looking to add a little something extra to your biceps

, it might be time to include the incline dumbbell curl exercise to your routine. This is a terrific overall exercise to accelerate the growth of your arms, especially if you have yet to incorporate it into your workout. The extra stretch that occurs at the bottom of the movement might be the part of the jump start that your arms need.

To do this exercise you will need a pair of dumbbells and an incline bench. Because proper form is extra crucial in this exercise, use a fairly light pair of dumbbells. Partly because of the weight stretching your bicep muscle to its fullest, the incline dumbbell curl works the entire length of the bicep.

Again, use lighter weight and a slow, methodic pace. As a general rule, situate the dumbbells on your thighs as a resting spot before you launch into the exercise. Lean your body back so that your back is against the bench that is tilted at a 45-degree angle. You want you back to remain in this position during the entire exercise. Now that you back is firmly against the bench, let the weights hand at your sides.

You palms should be facing outward to start and during the entire exercise. Make sure that they remain that way all through the upward and downward movements. As you start the upward curl, make sure that you elbows remain pointed at the floor. In fact, the elbows should be pointed at the floor throughout the curl exercise. If you start to allow your elbows to swing, you are beginning to use your shoulders to help with the lift. Keep an eye on this part to ensure proper technique.

Curl both dumbbells at the same time. Curl them until the bicep can no longer contract. Hold your biceps in that position for a full count of one and then slowly lower your arms to the bottom so that they are completely straight. Do not rest once the arms are straight. In stead, start the slow upward movement steadily to the contracted position once again.

At first you will need to experiment with a weight that you can lift between 8 and 12 times, all the while concentrating on maintaining precise form. If you maintain your focus on the form at all times, the results will become apparent in a relatively short time. Do three to four sets. You likely notice that with each subsequent set it becomes increasingly hard to do the same amount of repetitions. Resist the temptation of swinging the dumbbell up to do more reps.

You may need the first gym session or two to gain full control of the exercise, but once you do, you will feel an increased pump in your biceps and are well on your way to adding both size and definition to both your bicep and your self confidence.
