How to do it

Stand on the band holding the handles with palms facing each other, and curl upward keeping the thumbs pointing at the ceiling the whole way so the wrists never rotate.

Muscles worked

Primary: biceps · Also works: forearms

Equipment

Resistance bands

Common mistakes

  • Rotating the palms up mid-rep, which converts it back into a standard curl
  • Swinging the elbows forward at the top to get past the band's hardest point
  • Curling only to chest height because the tension gets uncomfortable near the top

Variations

  • Cross-body band hammer curl toward the opposite shoulder
  • Alternating band hammer curl one arm at a time
