Barbell Prone Incline Curl

1

Lie down on your stomach on the incline bench, ensuring your chest is firmly pressed against the bench and your feet are flat on the ground for stability.

2

Reach down and grab the barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing upwards) and hands shoulder-width apart.

3

Slowly curl the barbell up towards your chest while keeping your elbows close to your body, ensuring only your forearms are moving and your upper arms remain stationary.

4

Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position, fully extending your arms and stretching your biceps, then repeat the curling motion for your desired number of repetitions.

💡 Pro Tip

Control Your Movement: Avoid swinging the barbell or using your back or shoulders to lift it. The movement should be controlled and originate from your biceps. A common mistake is to rush the exercise, but slow and steady lifts will maximize muscle engagement. Appropriate Weight: Choose a weight that is challenging but allows you to maintain proper form. Lifting too heavy can lead to poor form and potential injury. Full Range of Motion: Ensure that you are using a full range of motion. Lower the barbell all the way down and then curl it up until your biceps are fully contracted. Half-reps will not give you the full benefit of the exercise. Keep Your Wrists Straight: Avoid bending or flexing your wrists while lifting the barbell
