|
Performing a bicep curl with dumbbells while on a bench in the 'Prone' position (facing down) helps to really target the biceps by removing any influences from other stronger body parts. Often when performing a bicep curl in a sitting or standing position, it's possible to gain momentum from other body parts, such as the shoulders and core. Performing the exercise in this way decreases help from other areas of the body.
