Exercise Instructions:

Setup for the incline hammer curl by setting the bench at a 30-45 degree incline and sitting a pair of dumbbells at the end. The lower the incline, the more challenging the exercise will be so 30 degrees is preferred. Sit on the bench, pick up the dumbbells and lay back with your back flat on the padding. You should be holding the dumbbells with an neutral grip, palms facing in towards your body. Take up the slack in your arms by slightly bending them, this will put tension on the biceps. This is the starting position for the exercise. Keeping your elbows fixed, slowly curl the dumbbells up as far as possible. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement, then slowly lower back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips:

Your elbows should not move throughout the movement. Keep the rep timing slow and control the dumbbells on the way down.
