Exercise Description

The hammer curl builds bigger biceps and stronger forearms using a neutral grip. This exercise hits your arms from a different angle than regular curls.

How To

1. Stand tall holding dumbbells at your sides with palms facing each other in a neutral grip. 2. Keep your elbows locked at your sides and engage your core for stability. 3. Curl the weights up by squeezing your biceps, maintaining the hammer curl neutral grip throughout. 4. Pause briefly at the top when your biceps are fully contracted. 5. Lower the dumbbells slowly back to starting position, controlling the hammer curl movement down.

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight and strong throughout the entire hammer curl movement • Don't swing or use momentum - let your biceps do all the work • Squeeze your biceps hard at the top of each hammer curl rep • Keep your elbows glued to your sides throughout the movement

Common Mistakes

• Swinging the weights up instead of using controlled hammer curl form • Letting your elbows drift forward or flare out during the movement • Rushing through the hammer curl reps instead of controlling the weight
