Dumbbell Alternate Hammer Strict Curl
The alternating hammer curl standing with the back against a wall; the wall stops any lean or swing.
How to do it
Setup
Standing with the back and the heels against a wall, a dumbbell in each hand at the sides, thumbs forward.
Steps
- Curl one bell to the shoulder, thumb up.
- Lower it fully before the other rises.
- Keep the shoulders touching the wall throughout.
Common mistakes
Shoulders coming off the wall to help: stay flat against it. Thumb turning in as the bell rises: it stays on top. Rushing from arm to arm: finish each rep before the next starts.
Breathing
Exhale on each curl, inhale lowering.
