Dumbbell Hammer Preacher Curl
The hammer curl on the preacher bench: both bells rise with the thumbs up while the pad keeps the upper arms still.
How to do it
Setup
Seated at the preacher bench, arms on the pad, a dumbbell in each hand in a neutral grip, thumbs up.
Steps
- Curl both bells up with the thumbs leading.
- Keep the palms facing each other all the way.
- Lower both down the pad to almost straight arms.
Common mistakes
Palms turning up on the way: the thumbs stay on top. Bells knocking together at the top: keep a hand's width between them. Short bottoms: bring the arms nearly straight each rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
