Hammer curls on the incline bench
The traditional Hammer Curls with dumbbells are highly regarded as effective exercises for strengthening the biceps. There are various ways to perform them. Similarly popular are the Hammer Curls on the bicep machine. However, here you will find advice on the optimal body position and execution of movements during the Hammer Curls on the incline bench.
Body position
You grip a dumbbell in each hand using the hammer grip. Grab the dumbbell from the side and hold it like a hammer. Sit on the incline bench, which has an incline angle of 45-60 degrees. Your arms are positioned at the sides of your body, ready for the exercise. To protect the lower back, assume a slight lordotic position. The arms are slightly bent, not fully extended.
Movement execution
To initiate the Hammer Curls on the incline bench, exhale and raise both arms upward. The dumbbells maintain the same grip position. Move only the forearms while the rest of the body remains in the same position. Pause briefly when you reach the top, and inhale as you return to the starting position.
