Inclined Dumbbell Curls

This strengthens your grip, forearms, and biceps, which improves your ability to pick up and hold onto things with your hands.   Do this sitting on a weight bench inclined about 35 to 45°. Begin with dumbbells hanging at your sides, palms facing forward. Curl them (raise them) slowly.

Continue to curl the dumbbells, moving slowly with absolutely no swinging of the weights.

Curl the dumbbells until your biceps are completely flexed, then slowly lower the weight and repeat.
