Equipment

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
