I'm getting 40's soon, I know I can curl the hell out of them, with those arms why are you only at 40? Just wondering? I'm knew to lifting and am looking for some pointers.
@Truejusticevoice no he shouldnt... 1 when ur doing incline curls, ur arms are somewhat pressed against ur sides thus looking a little bigger then they are. 2. these are significantly more difficult then normal curls where arms are parallel to the body, such as when standing...i curl 45s for 10 reps standing but when i started doing these i could only do 30s for 10 reps..
I never really understood the point of doing incline curls .. your arms are in the exact same position as in normal curls and if you turned your arm into incline too, it would work your shoulder instead of the bicep
@qopemail they are not in the same position.. note the angle of his arm between shoulder and elbow relative to his torso.. when doing curls whilst standing, the upper arm is parallel to the body. incline curls move the arm past that point by 30-40 degrees, resulting in a greater stretch in the muscle.. in short, incline dumbbell curls put much more strain on the biceps even before any contraction occurs thus resulting in greater muscle stimulation..
seems like people are commenting on here having never done this exercise, nice tricep btw!

I like doing it on incline too, it stops back injury when going heavy.

Don't forget diet too. You can train all you want with a poor diet and not gain much.

@qopemail theres something with sitting down that has a different effect on the muscle tissue i think

@obezana thank you for elaborating on this very usefull info
i never saw it like that was thinking it was same as any other bicep workout or the efficiency of incline in bicep training, i can see it now :)
