Why Add the Dumbbell Hammer Curls to your Bicep Routine
Hammer curls are an excellent exercise for developing stronger, thicker, and more defined arms.
Unlike the traditional bicep curls, which use an underhand grip, hammer curls use a neutral grip (palms facing inward).
This really changes how the muscles are challenged and makes hammer curls a valuable addition to a hypertrophy routine.
