Olympic Barbell Hammer Curl

Coaching cues

• Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold an Olympic barbell with an overhand grip.
• Let the barbell hang at arm's length in front of your thighs, with your palms facing your body.
• Keeping your upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights while contracting your biceps.
• Continue to raise the barbell until your biceps are fully contracted and the barbell is at shoulder level.
• Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
• Inhale and slowly begin to lower the barbell back to the starting position.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
