Incline hammer curl

These steps are written specifically for the Incline hammer curl. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Incline hammer curl. Set the bench to the named incline and keep your body supported by it.

    Move the pattern

    Keep the thumbs pointing up as you bend the elbows and bring the weights toward the shoulders.
