Technique
- Set an adjustable bench to a steep incline and stand behind the backrest.
- Drape one arm over the top of the backrest so the back of the upper arm lies on the pad.
- Hold a dumbbell underhand with the arm almost straight.
- Curl the dumbbell up, then lower slowly to near full extension; finish the set and switch arms.
Cues
- Keep the armpit tight to the top of the pad.
- Control the bottom: the elbow is most exposed there.
Common mistakes
- Dropping into a locked elbow at the bottom.
- Leaning over the bench to lift the weight.
