Prone Incline Barbell Curl


Pro Tip

You may need to ask a friend for assistance handing the barbell to you for you to begin the movement. This movement may not work on all decline benches. If yours does not allow you to perform the movement, try switching to an incline (adjustable) bench instead.


How To

  1. Lie prone on a bench, inclined while holding a barbell shoulder-width apart with an underhand grip.
  2. Exhale and curl the barbell up towards your shoulders, while maintaining a neutral head position.
  3. Continue raising the barbell while keeping your upper arms directly under your shoulders until you cannot curl it any longer.
  4. Inhale and lower the barbell, returning it to the starting position.

Equipment

Barbell

Make sure to always use weight clips whenever you use a barbell, to prevent the plates from sliding off.

Decline Bench Without Rack

If you can't find this bench, consider using a decline bench with rack instead. If your exercise requires you to use a barbell or bar, you cannot substitute. If you do not need to use either, you probably can substitute.
