Dumbbell Prone Incline Hammer Curl

Hold a pair of dumbbells in each hand with an underhand grip. Lie facedown on an incline bench with your chest supported and feet on the ground. Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the dumbbells while contracting your biceps. Pause at the top of the movement, then inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Dumbbell Prone Incline Hammer Curl

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Dumbbell Prone Incline Hammer Curl using your dumbbell.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
