Dumbbell Hammer Wrist Curl

The dumbbell hammer wrist curl targets the brachioradialis and forearm extensors by performing wrist movements with a neutral (hammer) grip. Rest your forearms on a bench with a neutral grip and flex the wrist side to side.

How to Perform

1

Sit with your forearm resting on a bench, holding a dumbbell with a neutral grip.

2

The dumbbell should be vertical with one end hanging off the bench side.

3

Flex your wrist upward (radial deviation) as high as possible.

4

Lower with control to the starting position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rotating the forearm instead of keeping a pure neutral grip.

Using too heavy a dumbbell and losing wrist control.

Moving the forearm off the bench during the movement.
