Incline DB curls are killing my neck...

[Steve The Bluesman]

I love the incline DB curls, great stretch in the biceps and good contraction at the top, but with my head on the bench it is bad, with it off the bench it is even worse! I can feel knots forming in my neck.

Anyone else have this? I was thinking of using a rolled up towel behind my head.

Any other thoughts on similar biceps work that is similar?

Thanks,


Bluesman

all i can think of is that maybe the weight is pulling on your traps? not sure.. are you moving? lower the weight and try that

Strange, how steep of an incline are you on?

make sure your but is planted firmly on the seat or it could put strain on yer back and neck

Good question. If the incline is too steep, that could be the problem.
