This exercise targets: forearms, biceps, shoulders, traps
For this exercise, you will need: two dumbbells
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold dumbbells in your hands with your palms facing toward the body and your arms close to your sides. Keep the elbows locked and close to your body. Your wrists are locked too.
Bring the weight up so your forearms are parallel to the floor. Lower the weight slowly, resisting all the way down until your arms are nearly straight.
Tips:
If you notice that your elbows are moving forward, use weights that are less heavy.
Inhale at the starting position. Exhale when pulling the dumbbells toward your body.
Hammer curls work the bicep brachii in an alternate way from standard curls.
Make sure to keep the proper form: don't lean back as you move the weight up.
Don't use momentum: don't swing your arms to lift weight, and don't apply too much upper body movement.
Use weights suitable for your physical strength. If you are using heavy weights, perform a lower number of repetitions.
Beginners: 10 repetitions
Intermediate level: 15 repetitions
Advanced level: 20 repetitions
