Incline Dumbbell Curl
Incline Dumbbell Curl is an isolation exercise that targets the biceps directly. Control the lowering phase, work through a full range of motion, and pick a load you can move without body English. It loads the target muscle in a deep stretched position, which makes it a strong hypertrophy choice.
