Exercise Description

The dumbbell hammer preacher curl builds bigger biceps while hitting your forearms hard. The preacher bench stops you from cheating and forces pure bicep work.

How To

1. Set up on a preacher bench with dumbbells in both hands using a neutral grip (palms facing each other) 2. Rest your upper arms flat against the preacher pad with a slight bend in your elbows to start the dumbbell hammer preacher curl 3. Slowly curl the weights up by squeezing your biceps, keeping your wrists straight and strong 4. Pause at the top of the dumbbell hammer preacher curl movement and squeeze your biceps hard 5. Lower the dumbbells back down with control, stopping just before your arms fully straighten

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists locked in a neutral position throughout the entire dumbbell hammer preacher curl movement • Press your chest against the preacher bench to stay stable and prevent your body from rocking • Move slowly on the way down - the negative part of the dumbbell hammer preacher curl builds serious strength • Don't let your elbows flare out wide, keep them pointing down toward the floor

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging your body to help lift the dumbbells during the dumbbell hammer preacher curl • Dropping the weights too fast on the way down instead of controlling the movement • Letting your wrists bend backward or forward during the dumbbell hammer preacher curl, which wastes energy
