To perform the Prone incline hammer curl safely, please follow these steps:
Grab a dumbbell on each hand and lie face down on an incline bench with your shoulders near top of the incline. Your knees can rest on the seat or your legs can be straddled to the sides
Let your arms extend and hang naturally in front of you so that they are perpendicular to the floor
Now keep your elbows in by your side and face the palms inwards towards each other with the dumbells pointing up
Raise the dumbells by contracting the biceps until your arms are fully flexed, moving only your forearms
Now slowly lower the dumbells until your arms are fully extended
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you can no longer maintain the correct technique
