Technique
How to do the Hammer Curl (Band)
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, placing the resistance band under both feet. Hold the handles with your palms facing each other and your arms extended down at your sides.
- Curl the handles up towards your shoulders simultaneously by bending your elbows, keeping your palms facing each other throughout the movement.
- Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position with control, fully extending your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Keep your elbows close to your body and avoid swinging your arms.
- Focus on engaging your biceps and forearms throughout the movement.
- Exhale as you curl the handles up and inhale as you lower them back down.
