Rogue athlete Arielle Loewen demonstrates proper form for double hammer curls in this quick and simple movement demo from Rogue HQ.
The Hammer Curl is an arm isolation exercise that targets the biceps and forearm. The movement uses a neutral grip (palms facing each other) which makes this exercise more forearm and grip dominant than a standard curl. This movement can help pulling power and build bigger, stronger arms.
