Difference Between Hammer and Bicep Curls

Q: What is the difference between hammer curls and regular biceps curls?

A: Hammer curls (done by holding the weights with your palms facing each other) target both the biceps and the brachioradialis (the muscles along your forearms); regular curls (done with your palms facing upward) more effectively isolate the biceps. For the best results, try to vary your workout to include both types of exercises. And remember to use a slightly lower weight if you’re starting with hammer curls. But always mix up your routine, throwing in different variations between each exercise and reps done to better maximize your workout.
