Dumbbell Hammer Curl
Curl the dumbbells with a neutral (thumbs-up) grip, elbows pinned to the sides.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, bells at the sides, thumbs-up neutral grip, elbows pinned.
Steps
- Curl the bells to the shoulders keeping the neutral grip.
- Elbows stay at the sides.
- Lower to fully straight arms.
Common mistakes
Rotating to palms-up mid-curl: that is another exercise; thumbs stay up. Swinging the torso: quiet body. Elbows creeping forward: pin them.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
