Incline Inner Biceps Curl

What it is

This exercise is a dumbbell-based movement performed on an incline bench to isolate your biceps. You curl the weights in a wide path, specifically targeting the inner head of your biceps brachii for enhanced peak development. It provides a greater stretch and range of motion compared to a standard curl.

Technique tips

• Keep your elbows stable and tucked to your sides.
• Curl the dumbbells outward, aiming for a strong peak contraction.
• Inhale as you slowly lower the weights, resisting the descent.
• Ensure your palms face outwards throughout the entire range of motion.
• Maintain constant tension on your biceps; avoid momentum.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
