Incline Dumbbell Curls
Incline Dumbbell Curls are a classic bicep builder that can contribute greatly to full bicep development by emphasizing a full range of motion and a good stretch at the bottom of the movement. They also contribute greatly to bodyweight strength by increasing pull-up strength etc.
Set an incline bench at about a 45 degree incline, sit down on it with a dumbbell in each hand, and lean back flat on the incline bench. Let your arms hang at your sides with your palms facing forwards. Using your biceps (and without moving your elbows or curling your wrists) curl the dumbbells up as high as possible and contract your biceps as tightly as possible. Lower the dumbbells again smoothly (under tight control of the biceps). Allow your biceps to stretch smoothly at the bottom and then curl the dumbbells back up again under control. Repeat for the planned number of reps.
Make sure to focus on absolute perfect control of motion during this exercise, intentionally keeping all of the stress of the exercise completely on the biceps.
