Dumbbell Hammer Curls
Equipment Required: two equal weighted dumbbells
Technique
- Starting by standing upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and the knees relaxed, and with a dumbbell in each hand.
- Let your arms hang to the sides of your body with the palms facing in.
- Bend at the elbow, curling both dumbbells simultaneously up to shoulder level.
- Pause then lower the weights to the starting position.
Key points to remember
- Keep the palms facing each other throughout the entire exercise - the movement is similar to hammering a nail.
- Keep the abdominals tight and the lower back in a neutral position
- The movement should be performed in a slow and controlled manner
Alternatives
