Exercise Summary

Exercise Name: Bicep Hammer Curl
Main Muscle: Biceps
Secondary Muscle(s): Forearms
Exercise Type: Pull, Isolation
Equipment Required: Dumbbell

Exercise Description and Instruction:

This weight training exercise is the two-armed version of the Alternate Hammer Curl. It uses dumbbells and a slightly different motion than the Dumbbell Bicep Curl to hit other areas of your forearms and biceps.

To Perform This Exercise:

  1. Stand with our feet shoulder width apart, your knees slightly bent and your abs drawn in.
  2. Grasp a dumbbell in each hand so your palms are facing each other.
  3. Extend your arms so they are at the sides of your body.
  4. While keeping your elbows locked, lift your arms in an arc towards your shoulders.
  5. Lower your arms in a steady controlled motion and repeat.

Tips:

  1. Keep your elbows in the same position throughout the exercise. They should be drawn in to your torso, shoulder width apart.
  2. Keep your knees slightly bent to help prevent yourself from swinging your torso.
  3. Do not turn your wrists during the exercise
