I wonder if putting the Sierra door stop under the door and hooking the Sierra bands to it, standing facing away from the door, and doing curls from there is something close to the functional equivalent of incline dumbbell curls? Yes. In fact there's a video of someone doing just that with bands. Only, his bands are attached at two anchors, shoulder width apart.

If you set an average folding chair up in front of a double door anchor/hook & bands setup Alan, it will give a pretty fair approximation of incline bench curls. Being able to lean back a bit w/ back support allows the bicep muscles to pre-stretch better and makes that exercise more effective (for some) than standard bicep curls.

Tried this yesterday. I got ensconced onto my incline bench and did 10 reps of incline curls with a pair of 25 lb. dumbbells, and then without pausing, I raised them straight up and then lowered them to behind my head and did 10 reps of triceps extensions, and then at the top of the last rep, I lowered my arms straight down and did 9 incline curls, and again without pausing, straight up and into 9 triceps extension, and then repeated the process for 8 reps each, 7, and then barely got through 6 reps each, for a total of 40 reps each. My goal, of course, is to get all the way down to the last 1, for a total of 55 reps. I had made my dumbbells as seen in this thread, sierraexercise.proboards.com/thread/1597/diy-permanent-dumbbell , specifically for this purpose so that there would be no ends sticking out. These are the only biceps/triceps exercises I will do in my upper body workout. I preceded this with pushups, pullups, shoulder raises, and Bullworker abs. Bruce, I was wondering how You're doing with this? I've been using this and really like it. I don't know why but I've been starting at 12 reps. I just read it again and notice You started at 10 reps. No wonder it was so hard, . Such a burn. I've also started using this rep scheme for my reverse wrist curls and wrist curls with DBs.
