Dumbbell hammer curl
The dumbbell hammer curl is an upper arm exercise that targets the biceps. It involves holding a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip and curling the weights while keeping the elbows close to the torso. This exercise emphasizes the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles, providing a different stimulus compared to traditional bicep curls.
