Incline hammer curl
- Sit back on an incline bench (set to about 45 degrees), holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended and palms facing each other.
- Keeping your upper arms stationary, curl the dumbbells up toward your shoulders.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells with control back to the starting position.
Tips
- Keep your upper arms hanging straight down and still against the bench throughout the curl, using the incline to place your arms behind your torso at the start.
- Curl the dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) all the way through the movement, without rotating your wrists.
- Lower the dumbbells with control until your arms are fully extended before beginning the next repetition.
Common mistakes
- Swinging the upper arms forward away from the bench as the weight rises, rather than keeping them stationary.
- Shortening the range of motion by not fully extending the arms at the bottom, so the stretch at the start of each rep is incomplete.
