Dumbbell Incline Alternate Hammer Curl
Alternating hammer curls seated back against an incline bench; one arm curls while the other waits at full hang.
How to do it
Setup
Seated back against an incline bench, a dumbbell in each hand hanging at the sides, thumbs forward.
Steps
- Curl one dumbbell up, palm facing in.
- Switch arms only once the first is straight again.
- Keep the head and back on the bench.
Common mistakes
Shoulders peeling off the bench on each curl: stay back. Elbow drifting forward: it stays under the shoulder. Rushing the switch: one full rep, then the other arm.
Breathing
Exhale on each curl, inhale lowering.
