Dumbbell Hammer Preacher Curl

Dumbbell Hammer Preacher Curl Overview

The preacher dumbbell hammer curl is a variation of the hammer curl and an exercise used to build bigger biceps.

Utilizing the preacher set up while performing preacher dumbbell hammer curls promotes a fixed range of motion for the hammer curl, allowing for a more focused contraction on the biceps.

When trying to build your biceps, using a wide range of exercises which focus on different ranges of motion is the best approach.

4. Once the bicep is fully lengthened, curl the weight back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on both sides.
