Hammer Curls
Standing
Type: Unilateral
Rest: 120s

Tutorial
1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keep your back straight, and fix your shoulder blades in place (pull your shoulders back and then down).
2
Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward (neutral grip). Hold the dumbbells next to your body and let your arms hang down.
3
Now bend your arms powerfully until your hands are close to your shoulders. Maintain a neutral grip. Exhale and tense your biceps hard. Your upper arms and shoulders remain in the same position throughout the exercise.
4
Slowly and carefully straighten your elbow until your arms are fully extended again. Breathe in as you do so.
5
A repetition has thus been performed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
It is important to maintain good form throughout the exercise and ensure that the elbows do not move to create momentum. The back remains straight throughout the exercise and does not swing. The exercise is only performed by the biceps muscles. Also make sure to perform the movement slowly and in a controlled manner in order to exert maximum tension on the biceps and avoid injury. Keep the wrist straight in a line so as not to put too much strain on the forearm.
