This is an elbow flexion strengthening exercise. This exercise is completed using an exercise bench. Start by placing the bench on a 45 to 60 degree incline and stand behind it with the back of your upper arm support by the bench (you may to be in a half knee or full kneel position). Hold a dumbbell in your hand and bend the elbow to raise the dumbbell without shifting the elbow off of the bench pad. Isolate the elbow flexors by keeping the shoulder relaxed in a single position without allowing it to lift off of the bench. Lower the weight to complete a repetition.
