Hammer Curl

Hammer Curls look a lot alike the basic dumbbell curls. It is no coincidence that it has the name Hammer attached to it because it simulates the same movement like when working with a hammer.

Hammer Curl exercise

Like all the standing exercises done with dumbbells, stand straight with chest forward and knees slightly bend. Now, instead of moving the dumbbells horizontally towards your chest move them in a vertical position. Keep straight body posture throughout the exercise. Exhale when lifting the dumbbell, inhale when lowering the dumbbell. Make 3 sets with 12, 10 and 8 repetitions. Start with a normal weight dumbbell that suits you, and increase on every set by at least 3 kg per dumbbell.
