The more time you spend at the gym, the more you notice the unique training styles of other gym goers. And no exercise takes quite as many forms as the standard bench press.

Feet on the bench.

A 30° incline.

Reverse-grip.

Dumbbells.

At a certain point, you can’t help but wonder, “Must we reinvent the wheel?” It’s reasonable to be skeptical about new exercises, especially when the standard bench has yet to let you down.

But what if we told you that the wide grip bench press might just be the key to thicker, more sculpted pecs? We know … you’ve heard that one before.

Is 225 a good bench image

Of all the exercises out there, the bench press seems to have permeated into the mainstream culture more so than any other.

Nothing draws attention to your physique more than a pair of sleeve splitting arms. I’m sure we’ve all heard people being asked to flex their muscles, and they never have to ask which ones.

Unfortunately, achieving a pair all of your own is easier said than done. Otherwise, you’d likely see every guy you walked past sporting them.

It wasn’t just a few sets of basic curls that helped Hulk Hogan build those 24-inch pythons, brother.

If you really want to earn a set of biceps you can be proud of, you need to hit them from every angle, using every tool at your disposal.

That brings me to the focus of today’s article, the lost art of the incline inner bicep curl.
