Dumbbell Hammer Curl

The dumbbell hammer curl is a popular exercise for building strong and defined arms, particularly the biceps and forearms. This exercise is relatively simple to perform and can be done with just a set of dumbbells, making it an accessible option for people who don't have access to a gym or weightlifting equipment.

• Biceps development: The dumbbell hammer curl primarily targets the biceps brachii muscle, helping to build strength and size in the upper arms.
• Forearm development: The hammer curl also targets the brachioradialis muscle in the forearms, which can improve grip strength and overall arm definition.
• Improved bicep peak: The hammer curl places a greater emphasis on the brachialis muscle, which sits beneath the biceps brachii. This can help create a more defined bicep peak.
• Versatility: The dumbbell hammer curl can be performed in a variety of ways, including standing, seated, or with a preacher bench, allowing for a range of options to target different parts of the arms.

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing your thighs.
2. Keeping your elbows close to your sides, slowly curl the dumbbells up toward your shoulders, squeezing your biceps at the top of the movement.
3. Lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position with control.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

It is important to choose an appropriate weight for your fitness level and to use proper form and technique to avoid injury. The dumbbell hammer curl can be incorporated into a variety of workout routines, such as arm-specific workouts or full-body workouts.
