Incline Hammer Curls Instruction
- Set a bench to a 45-degree incline.
- Sit back on the bench with your back flat and hold a pair of DB's.
- Arms are fully extended with a slight flex in the elbows, this is your starting position.
- Hands are in a neutral position.
- Curl the weight up with the biceps and forearms controlling the movement.
- At the top, your thumbs are pointed to you.
- After a brief pause, lower to the starting position.
- The eccentric portion is just as important as the concentric with arm development.
*Tips*
- The muscle used first will be used the most. Momentum will negate the movement.
- Refrain from “swinging” the weight up.
