I decided an “exercise of the day” would be a fun addition to our blog, so without further ado:

Today’s exercise is the Incline dumbbell curl.

This is currently my favorite bicep exercise, and its hard as hell. I like to do it first or second on my arms day, so I can give it as much energy as possible. I’ll usually do a a reverse cables triceps exercise immediately following. Instruction after the break.

The following instructions are from BodyBuilding.com, a great resource for all things exercise.

1. Sit on an incline bench and hold a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Keep your shoulders square and your chest up.
3. Press your upper back and shoulders against the bench.
4. Let your arms hang downward with your palms facing each other.
5. Slowly curl the weight in your right hand out and up to shoulder level, while turning your wrist so that your thumb is on the outside.
6. Squeeze your bicep at the top and then slowly lower the weight back down. You can also do this standing or by doing one arm at a time.

If you have any comments about this exercise, or decide to give a shot, let us know, we’d love to hear what you think about it!
