How to do the Preacher Hammer Dumbbell Curl
- 1
Place the upper part of both arms on top of the preacher bench as you hold a dumbbell in each hand with the palms facing each other (neutral grip).
- 2
As you breathe in, slowly lower the dumbbells until your upper arm is extended and the biceps is fully stretched.
- 3
As you exhale, use the biceps to curl the weight up until your biceps is fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder height.
- 4
Squeeze the biceps hard for a second at the contracted position and repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
