How to do band hammer curl

Coach's Tips

This exercise is designed to increase the size of the biceps muscles and also targets the outer and forearm areas of the biceps.

Start Position

1. Keep your elbows close to your sides during the entire motion.

2. Avoid using momentum to lift the band upward.

3. Do not fully extend your elbows at the peak of the movement.

4. Cease the exercise immediately if you feel any discomfort.

Proper Form

1. While your upper arms remain stationary, breathe out and curl the band upward toward your shoulders.

2. Maintain straight wrists and ensure that your elbows remain close to your body.

3. Contract your biceps at the top, then inhale while gradually lowering the band to the initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe out as you raise the band.

2. Inhale as you bring the band back down to the starting point.

Precautions

1. Position your feet shoulder-width apart, with your knees slightly bent.

2. Grip a resistance band with both hands, palms directed forward.

3. Hold your hands at hip height, keeping your arms near your torso.
