The biceps brachii consists of two muscular heads: the short and the long head. Functionally, the biceps can do two things: flex the elbow and supinate the forearm. Supination is simply the act of turning the palms face up. When the forearm is in a neutral position (wrists straight), the greater muscles of the forearm, namely the brachioradialis, are heavily involved in elbow flexion.
Listed below are instructions for performing the hammer curl:
From a standing position, hold two dumbbells by your sides. Your wrists should be in a neutral position. Raise both dumbbells up to shoulder height, then lower them back down to the starting position.
Step 1
Hold dummbells by sides with a neutral grip (wrists straight).
Step 2
Curl dumbbells up to shoulder area.
Step 3
Slowly lower back to start position. Repeat.
