hammer curls

This curl is performed simultaneously with dumbbells but without wrist supination. Throughout each rep, the wrists remain neutral, like a carpenter hammering a nail.

HAMMER CURLS BENEFITS:
  1. Works not only the biceps but also the brachialis and brachioradialis
  2. Less stress on the wrists compared with supinating curls
  3. Lift more weight without having to supinate
