The dumbbell incline inner biceps curl targets the biceps brachii while the brachialis and brachioradialis assist. Performed seated on an incline bench with the arms hanging back behind the torso, it puts the biceps under a deep stretch at the bottom; the "inner" cue means keeping the elbows back and supinating hard to bias the inner (long) head and peak of the biceps.

Cómo hacer el Dumbbell Incline Inner Biceps Curl

  1. 1Set an incline bench to roughly 45–60° and sit back against it with a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. 2Let your arms hang straight down and slightly behind your torso, with your elbows pointing toward the floor.
  3. 3Turn your palms forward (supinated grip) and keep your shoulders pulled down and back against the bench.
  4. 4Curl both dumbbells up by bending only at the elbows, keeping your upper arms still and your elbows pinned back.
  5. 5Squeeze the biceps and supinate hard at the top, turning your pinkies up so your palms face you fully.
  6. 6Pause briefly at peak contraction without letting your elbows drift forward.
  7. 7Lower the dumbbells slowly under control until your arms are fully extended and you feel the stretch.
  8. 8Complete your reps, then sit up and set the dumbbells down safely.

Consejos de técnica

  • Keep your elbows pinned behind your torso the whole set — that backward arm position is what creates the deep biceps stretch this variation is known for.
  • Supinate fully at the top by rotating your pinky up; the hard twist recruits more of the biceps than a curl that stops with palms vertical.
  • Use a controlled tempo, especially on the way down, to keep tension on the biceps through the lengthened bottom position.
  • Pick a lighter weight than you'd use for a standing curl — the stretched start position makes this curl noticeably harder.

Errores comunes

  • Letting the elbows swing forward as you curl, which shortens the range and removes the inner-biceps stretch that defines the movement.
  • Using momentum or shrugging the shoulders to heave the weight up, which shifts work off the biceps and strains the shoulders.
  • Cutting the bottom short instead of fully extending the arms, losing the deep stretch and the muscle-building tension it provides.
  • Skipping the supination and curling with a neutral or half-turned grip, which underloads the biceps brachii.

Preguntas frecuentes

What muscles does the dumbbell incline inner biceps curl work?

It primarily works the biceps brachii, with the brachialis and brachioradialis assisting. The incline position and supinated grip emphasize the stretched, inner portion of the biceps.

What incline angle should I set the bench to?

Around 45–60° works well. A steeper recline lets your arms hang further back for a deeper stretch, while a lower angle is slightly easier on the shoulders.

Why does this curl feel harder than a standing curl?

Because your arms hang behind your torso, the biceps start in a fully stretched position with no help from momentum. That lengthened start makes each rep harder, so use lighter dumbbells.

Is the incline inner biceps curl good for building the biceps peak?

Yes. The deep stretch plus a hard supination at the top loads the biceps brachii through a long range, which is effective for developing size and the visible peak.
