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:
- Works not only the biceps but also the brachialis and brachioradialis
- Less stress on the wrists compared with supinating curls
- Lift more weight without having to supinate
