Hammer Curls

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Stand tall with dumbbells at your sides, palms facing your body (neutral grip).

Movement

Curl the weights toward your shoulders while maintaining the neutral grip. Squeeze at the top and lower slowly.

Form Tip

Focus on keeping your elbows pinned to your sides. This grip targets the brachialis and brachioradialis, adding thickness to the arm.

Increase Difficulty

Perform 'Cross-Body Hammer Curls' by curling the weight toward the opposite shoulder.

Decrease Difficulty

Perform seated or use alternating arms to manage fatigue.
