About

It's a workout that creates biceps muscles volume. It's a workout that can develop the outer and forearm muscles of the biceps!

How to Cable Hammer Curl

Starting Position

1. Please stand shoulder-width apart.

2. Grip the bar and position it right in front of your thighs.

3. Keep your chest up and your back straight.

Proper Form

1. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and grab the cable with your palms facing your body.

2. Fix your elbows at your sides, perpendicular to the ground, and bend your arms until the cable reaches shoulder height.

3. Keep your elbows and shoulders still while slowly lowering the cable, feeling the resistance.

4. Do not fully extend your arms; keep them slightly bent to maximize relaxation.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

Be careful not to move your wrist excessively and keep your elbow fixed.
