5 Explosive Home Workouts With Weights To Build Muscle

#5 Hammer Curl

Hammer curls are an excellent exercise for building all the three heads of the deltoid muscles. Additionally, the exercise improves the grip strength and activates a host of stabilization muscles in the forearms.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet positioned shoulder-width apart. Secure the dumbbells in both the hands and place your arms on the side, parallel to the body. Ensure that the palms are facing the torso throughout the duration of the exercise.

Step 2: Gradually curl the weight upwards while keeping your upper arms stationary until the dumbbells are in line with the shoulders. Ensure that the elbows are stationary and are close to the body during the entire range of motion.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Perform hammer curls in an alternate fashion for a more targeted workout experience.
