Hammer Curls | How to Perform Hammer Curls | Powerlift Pro App
Hammer curls are an exercise that targets the biceps and forearms. Some bodybuilders say these are the real secret to big biceps. Here are the steps to perform hammer curls:
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with your arms extended down and holding a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing inward towards your body.
- Keep your elbows close to your sides, and slowly lift the dumbbells towards your shoulders by bending your elbows.
- Keep your wrists straight throughout the movement, and avoid rotating your forearms.
- Pause for a moment when the dumbbells reach your shoulders, then slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position.
It is important to maintain proper form during hammer curls to avoid injury and maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. Remember to keep your elbows close to your body and avoid swinging your arms to lift the weights. You can also vary the weight of the dumbbells to challenge yourself as you progress.
