The Dumbbell One Arm Standing Hammer Curl is an isolation exercise that targets the biceps, brachialis, and forearm muscles. It involves using a dumbbell to perform a curling motion while keeping the palm facing inwards throughout the movement.
How to perform
To perform the Dumbbell One Arm Standing Hammer Curl, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and a dumbbell in one hand, palm facing inwards.
2. Keep your elbow close to your body and fully extend your arm downwards.
3. Slowly curl the dumbbell towards your shoulder while keeping your palm facing inwards, exhaling as you lift the weight.
4. Squeeze your bicep at the top of the movement and hold for a brief moment.
5. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position, inhaling as you lower the weight.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps, then switch to the other arm.
It is important to maintain good form throughout the exercise by keeping your back straight, core engaged, and avoiding swinging or using momentum to lift the weight. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase resistance as you build strength. Consult a fitness professional if you are unsure about proper form or technique.
