The Hammer Curl is a variation of the traditional bicep curl that targets the biceps from a different angle. To perform this exercise, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing towards your body. Keeping your upper arms still, bend your elbows to curl the dumbbells up towards your shoulders.

The Hammer Curl helps to build the size and strength of the biceps, which can improve overall arm development and athletic performance. It also engages the core muscles, which can enhance stability and balance.
This exercise is recommended for intermediate-level lifters who want to target their biceps specifically.
Individuals with shoulder injuries or impingement should avoid this exercise as it can exacerbate the condition.
