Instructional Fitness - Hammer Curls

[amcbirds]

ur suppose to keep you elbow down without moving

[ironmonnkey15]

@amcbirds Wrong, when you bring your elbow forward it is a longer range of motion without using your back.

[Thevide0123]

do the guy have speaking problem?

[Immigrant312]

this is much harder if you don't move your elbow so much...

[AUSTINWISCONSIN]

I always finish my workout with this exercise.

[cmec12]

Actually guys, biceps brachii long head and brachialis and brachioradialis actually attach above the shoulder so slight controlled shoulder flexion as demonstrated in this video ensures a full contraction of the muscles targeted by this specific exercise.

[Frosty7o4]

@SergeantCha0s, say that to his biceps.

[lukescoots197]

im 15 bout 200 pounds is 30 lbs. 10 reps 3 sets , w times a week good for my age?

[jahlove111]

i don't think this is the proper form! his elbows are swinging!

[blott1978]

His elbows are going to move somewhat....he doesn't need to be a robot during this exercise. Every exercise video I watch on youtube has these so called "experts" analyzing and insulting the persons form, technique, whatever.

[MrMethadrine]

Thats the only channel i trust for BB from million other crap directions u find in youtube.

[lfctomo123]

Your elbows shouldn't be swinging around like that, they should be almost motionless.

[jonpackers1]

so thats what the guy from movie calfornia m

an is doin now...go eeazzy on the jui.uice.good show guys.

[akarshanmall]

ok guys, we understand hes swinging, dont need to read about it every other comment

[sploosh56]

bad form + steroids = results

[SamBeatBoxer]

Not correctly. You do not need to swing. The probably does nothing at all. Or you do not need to go from bottom and swing to the top its best if 90 degrees.

[gab9876]

RAMBO

[realdeal987]

"Correct" way ? stop swaying your arms and then maybe I'd believe it. Feels like im looking at those ego idiots at the gym

[imnotstpid]

@realdeal987 i think you are lol :P

[SergeantCha0s]

Why doesnt he keep his arms straight and STOP swaying into it? You say this is the correct execution? I dont really agree,...

[samdrum08]

@SergeantCha0s as long as his arms are really working it, it's fine

[blott1978]

@SergeantCha0s How in hell is he swaying? He looks pretty solid to me...

[johnmaxvan]

@SergeantCha0s

not correct form

[thomascolin12]

@SergeantCha0s Looking at his arms id say it works.. lol but i thought hammer curls were more for forearms and triceps though... or whatever that mucle is in the back of the arm lol

[lieutnantEfz]

@thomascolin12 duuude you need to start thinking about how the muscles work if you work out :)

[thomascolin12]

@lieutnantEfz well i would assume since im watching a video from an instructional video i would not have to think and i got get to know.. lol

[Enanurri]

@SergeantCha0s You have to swing your arms to get full contraction of the biceps. That's the proper form.

[mookeychase0907]

@Enanurri I was told to twist my wrist when I bring my arm all the way up...

[hisho551]

but joe tong still the best for big tips thanks joe

[hisho551]

thats right he is doing the exercise wrong bec first he is moving his elbow to much forward .. seconde he is lifting the dumbell to much high .... he must do it just 90 degrees bad form

[Bengalltigerr]

Im sure Mark and Joe are both Italian

[MrHerrIQ]

Doesn't he bring them up to high?

Shouldn't you stop at 90 degrees or at your chest level?

[Damnationization]

I do these but I bring it into the center of my chest.

[bucketzakkdimetconn]

Mark looks like a ripped version of Furio from The Sopranos haha

[ak34809723]

@bucketzakkdimetconn holy shit yeah he does

[13andincrediblycutt]

Hammer curls suck. Real strict curls are much better with perfect form and control for overall bicep power.

[GustavinhGaucho]

awful biceps :/ (puke)

[garcia4717]

love these. always include a few sets of these in my bicep routine

[donnyguns1]

i was wondering how come my side of the bicep getting bigger!

Thanks Joe you are a great instructor

[hchukuka]

isn't he using his shoulders in this movement ?

[Testostrone250]

@hchukuka true awful form

[maxwelllp]

hanks dude. Good info i also use at gym. Cali is fuckin awesome i wanna go there:P hahah

[DONMARCOBARAJAS]

GREAT TIPS!

[lynx1094]

[somedudey0]

i prefer hammer curl :P cuz i think if ur doin "standard" is better with a bar

[nissanheel]
