Dumbbell Seated Hammer Curl
The hammer curl seated on a bench with the back against an upright pad; sitting takes the legs and hips out of it.
How to do it
Setup
Seated upright, back to the pad, dumbbells hanging at the sides, palms facing the body.
Steps
- Raise both dumbbells together toward the shoulders.
- The palms face the body from bottom to top.
- Lower until the bells hang past the seat.
Common mistakes
Back leaving the pad to heave the bells: stay against it. Elbows drifting forward off the sides: keep them by the ribs. Bells swinging back past the hips at the bottom: stop them hanging still.
Breathing
Exhale on the curl, inhale lowering.
