Dumbbell hammer curls with an arm blaster are a resistance training exercise that primarily targets the biceps and forearms. The arm blaster is a device that helps to stabilize the elbows and isolate the biceps during the exercise.
How to perform
To perform dumbbell hammer curls with an arm blaster:1. Begin by securing the arm blaster around your midsection and positioning it so that your elbows are resting against the pads.
2. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and let your arms hang down at your sides.
3. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and engage your core for stability.
4. Keeping your elbows locked in place against the arm blaster, slowly curl the dumbbells towards your shoulders, focusing on contracting your biceps.
5. Hold the peak contraction for a moment before slowly lowering the dumbbells back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps, making sure to control the weight and avoid swinging your body to assist in the movement.
7. Once you have completed the set, carefully remove the dumbbells and arm blaster.
It is important to choose a weight that challenges you while still allowing you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Incorporating dumbbell hammer curls with an arm blaster into your workout routine can help to improve strength and definition in the biceps and forearms.
