Preacher Hammer Dumbbell Curl is an alternative to the hammer curl and is an exercise to increase the size of your biceps.
Utilizing the preacher setup during preacher dumbbell curls ensures a certain movement range for the hammer curled, making it easier to focus the exercise of the biceps.
If you are trying to build your biceps strength, using an array of exercises that focus on various types of motions is the best way to go about it.
Instructions for Preacher Hammer Dumbbell Curl
- The upper part of each arm is on top of the bench for the preacher. hold a dumbbell with both hands with palms facing one another (neutral grip).
- When you breathe in as you breathe in, gradually lower the dumbbells until the upper part of your arm has been stretched and the biceps are completely stretched.
- When you exhale, utilize your biceps to pull the weight upwards until your biceps are completely engaged and your dumbbells sit positioned at shoulder height.
- Press the biceps with your hands for a second in the contracted position. Repeat for the number of repetitions.
Additional Information
- Maintain a slight bend to the elbow near the end of the movement to ensure that tension is maintained throughout the biceps.
- Utilizing an eccentric exercise that is slow (lowering part) in the training could aid in reducing tension and the mind-muscle connection.
- Only your forearms must move.
- Adjust the seat to place the entire upper arm’s back in a flat position against the rest of your arm from your armpits up to your elbows.
- You can do the dumbbell hammer preacher cur by using one arm at a stretch or, as stated using both arms at the same time. Alternate the movements to reap the benefits of both options.
- Your brachioradialis is your focus, not your brachi since the brachioradialis is the main elbow flexor when you employ a unidirectional grip. Furthermore that when your elbow has located in the direction of your body and your biceps (especially the short or inner head) are placed in an in-between state (active lack of strength).
