Cross-Body Hammer Curl
Neutral hammer grip; curl one dumbbell at a time diagonally across the torso, sliding from the groin up to the opposite side of the chest, elbow pinned to your side.
How to do it
Setup
Neutral grip, bells at the sides.
Steps
- Curl one bell diagonally toward the OPPOSITE shoulder.
- Keep the thumb up the whole path.
- Lower along the same diagonal; alternate.
Common mistakes
Torso rotating to meet the bell: the arm crosses, the body does not. Bell stopping at the chest: reach the opposite shoulder. Elbow floating: it stays low and stable.
Breathing
Exhale on each curl, inhale lowering.
