How do you perform DB Hammer Curls?

[inhiliator5000]

I just wanted to get a general consensus on how most of you guys perform Hammers.

and why?

Cross body, or to the side or both?



i know you guys love that pic..lol

Pretty much however I feel that week. I alternate, but it's not a set routine so if I end up doing them across the body for two weeks straight then so be it, but sometimes I won't do them at all and do heavy reverse curls, just depends on how I feel.

awesome..

so pretty much when you do them cross body, you're trying to target forearms as well?

[Toosmall21]

I don't really ever "target" forearms, I just don't use straps on many lifts and try and lift heavy...

I do them straight up and down till i tire then i go cross body as that seems to allow me to get a few more reps. I gotta say hammer curls are about my favorite Biceps exercise.

[Elf]

Not cross body... I feel like my delts are doing more work than my biceps are if I do them that way.

[The Celt]

Mainly cross body, will switch it up occassionaly though...

[rantorcha]

For ME, I don't feel anything in my biceps when I do them across the body. When I do them from the side is where I truly feel it. That said, it all depends on how you feel it most.

Any way i do it i feel it in my forarms and none in my bicep, is this improper form or week forarms?

[Billy Blackwell]

Across the body. Not sure why, just feels pretty good that way

[stackndeca]

I'm smart so i alternate.

Balls to the Wall Extreme...that's how. Also, while I'm doing lunges. Whatever leg is out front, I'll hammer curl the opposite arm.

[pectacularelmo]

i do like both, but i tend to cheat in my first bicep exercise so if im doing hammers first, ill go across body and cheat that little bit to shift the extra weight. hammers ftw
