Bottle Hammer Curl
The hammer curl with two filled water jugs held by their handles, thumbs up; a home stand-in for dumbbells.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, a filled jug in each hand at the sides, handles gripped thumbs up.
Steps
- Curl both jugs toward the shoulders, thumbs up.
- Keep the elbows at your sides.
- Lower slowly to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Jugs swinging on their handles: slow the curl so the water stays calm. Caps loose: tighten them before the set. Elbows drifting forward: they stay at the sides.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
