Hammer Curls

Biceps Dumbbell

Description

Hammer curls are a biceps exercise that targets the brachialis, brachioradialis, and the biceps brachii muscles. Unlike traditional biceps curls, hammer curls involve holding dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and curling the weights upwards toward the shoulders while keeping the elbows close to the body. This exercise helps to develop overall arm strength and stability while also improving grip strength, making it a valuable addition to any upper body workout routine.

How To

01 Stand tall, dumbbell in each hand, palms facing in
02 Pin your elbows to your sides
03 Curl the weights up, keeping your wrists neutral
04 Squeeze at the top, then lower with control
