1 Arm Incline Bench

A good exercise if you don't have access to a preacher curl, as the use of the bench will help to isolate the biceps muscle, and prevent you from swinging the weight upwards.

START	MIDWAY	FINISH

The level of incline on the bench will increase the level of difficulty, (higher incline - harder exercise). Whatever your incline level, focus on being able to make sure you can perform the exercise in a smooth position, you may need to use a step box to increase your height over the bench if you feel your forced to raise your shoulders.

Rest your triceps and elbows on the top of the bench throughout the exercise, grasping the dumbbell in one arm at a time, in order to focus on both your lifting, and a comfortable foot position around the bench.

Raise the dumbbell in a smooth motion, until your forearms touch your biceps, lower down again under control, taking note that the harder part of this exercise is your initial lift.

The level of difficulty for any weight lifting exercise, has a great emphasis on the amount of weight about to be lifted. Always aim to start with a light weight, adapting good technique prior to increasing the weight.
