Incline Bench Inner Curl

You may to have your palms facing each other at the start, and finish with your thumbs pointing outwards (standard curl), or perform as reverse curl action (palms facing the floor).

MIDWAY

FINISH

Smoothly bring your hand towards your outer shoulders, taking your forearms and wrists out to your sides during the movement, aiming to keep your elbows tucked into your sides throughout.

Concentrate on keeping your lower back and head pushed into the bench, especially as you commence the exercise, in order to avoid arching in your lower spine.

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.
