How to do cable hammer curl

Coach's Tips

This exercise is effective for increasing bicep muscle size and enhancing both outer and forearm muscles.

Start Position

1. Ensure your core is engaged throughout the motion.

2. Refrain from using momentum or swinging to complete the curl.

3. Select a weight that matches your current strength level.

Proper Form

1. Curl the cable towards your shoulders by bending your arm.

2. Keep your upper arms still during the movement, preventing your elbows from moving away from your sides.

3. Contract your biceps at the peak of the curl, then gradually lower the weight back to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out when lifting the weight upwards.

2. Breathe in as you bring the weight back down.

Precautions

1. Position yourself in front of a cable machine with the pulley aligned with shoulder height.

2. Grip the cable handle with your palms facing each other, maintaining a neutral grip.

3. Keep your elbows close to your sides with your core activated.
