Tired of the same old bicep curls?
Feeling stuck in a groove with limited results? It's time to unlock the full potential of your biceps with the game-changing incline curl!
Forget hunching over and bringing the weight towards your chest like we do with most curls. The incline curl takes things to a whole new level by focusing on a crucial, often-neglected area: the long head of your bicep. By leaning back at a 45° angle or less, you stretch the front of your shoulder and create an optimal contraction for the long head, leading to:
Enhanced bicep growth and definition: Target the long head from a new angle, leading to fuller, more sculpted biceps.
Improved shoulder health: The stretch and activation in the anterior shoulder help prevent common issues like bicep tendonitis and rotator cuff weakness.
Greater functional strength: By engaging more of your bicep fibers, you build strength that translates to everyday activities and improved performance.

Ready to give it a try?
Simple! Grab a set of weights, find a comfortable incline bench, and follow these steps:
Lean back at a 45° angle or less, keeping your chest lifted and core engaged.
Hold the weights with straight arms at your sides, palms facing forward.
Curl the weights up without swinging, focusing on squeezing your biceps throughout the movement.
Pause at the top, feeling the bicep contraction, then slowly lower the weights back to the starting position.
Start with weights you can control for 3 sets of 10 repetitions. As you get stronger, gradually increase the weight or reps.
Remember: Listen to your body, avoid excessive momentum, and don't hesitate to adjust the angle or weight if something feels uncomfortable.
