HAMMER CURL

This is a strengthening exercise for the elbow flexors. This exercise may be completed while sitting or standing. Start by holding a dumbbell in mid-pronation (thumbs up grip). Start with your elbows directly below your shoulder. Bend the elbow to raise the weight without shifting the elbow forwards or backwards. Keep the core braced to hold a neutral spine. Isolate the elbow flexors by keeping the shoulder in a single position without allowing it to roll inwards or backwards. Lower the weight to complete a repetition.
