Dumbbell Hammer Curl

A neutral-grip dumbbell curl that builds the brachialis and forearms — the arm-thickness curl every program needs.

Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand, arms at your sides, and palms facing your thighs.
Keep the elbows pinned to the ribs and the shoulders pulled back and down throughout the set.
Curl both dumbbells up by bending only at the elbow, keeping palms facing each other the whole time.
Squeeze hard at the top with the dumbbells just below shoulder height and the wrists locked straight.
Lower the weights under control over 2 to 3 seconds back to a fully straight-arm position.
Pause briefly at the bottom with the elbows extended, then curl back up for the next rep.

Swinging the torso to throw the weight up instead of curling cleanly with the arms.
Letting the elbows drift forward at the top, which turns the curl into a half front raise.
Rotating the wrists at the top and rushing the lower, missing the brachialis-building tension.
Using too heavy a weight, which forces partial reps and short-changes the muscle stretch.
