Make every rep count.
- 01
Set an adjustable bench to ~30–40°. Grab two dumbbells.
- 02
Lie face down with your chest supported on the bench. Plant your feet firmly on the floor for stability.
- 03
Let your arms hang straight down with a neutral (hammer) grip—palms facing each other. Keep your shoulders down and back, and your upper arms relaxed.
- 04
Create tension by slightly unlocking your elbows (don’t fully relax at the bottom). This is your start.
- 05
Curl the dumbbells up in a smooth motion, keeping your elbows pointed toward the floor and your upper arms mostly still—no swinging.
- 06
Pause and squeeze your biceps, then lower slowly back to the start under control.
- 07
Repeat for your target reps, keeping the bench support doing the work—not momentum.
