Home bodybuilding workout: hammer curls exercise

Video clip illustrating proper form of the hammer curl exercise for biceps. The key in this arm exercise is a slow and controlled motion without swinging or jerking. Make sure to keep your elbows pinned at your sides and dont allow them to move forward or backward.

As with any dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury. Don't use too much weight, if you can't do the exercise slowly then you need to go lighter. Count aloud "one onethousand, two onethousand, three onethousand" on the way up and the way down, if you cant do this on this exercise then you are using too much weight. The reason this exercise method maximizes your muscle growth is because it confines the motion to the muscle you are trying to work out, if your body squirms, swings, and kicks, all you are doing is taking the focus away from the muscle you are trying to exercise.

Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

nice, but i have a question, you have to do the reps slowly in order to gain mass right? if you do reps fast with somewhat low weight youll gain definition and not all that mass right?

[scooby1961]

IMHO, the only way to gain definition is to lose bodyfat. Muscle building exercises have nothing at all to do with definition. Do cardio till you have the bodyfat/definition you want. Do resistance training till you have the muscle mass you want. Make sense???

Well, how much muscle you build is up to you, but the same workouts that build lots of muscle over time will build some muscle over less time for you.

Then use diet, routine calisthenics and occasional workouts to maintain that level of muscular development and definition.

Work out until you've gained the mass you want, then use occasional maintenance workouts to keep it, in combination with aerobics to define it.

Trains the same muscle groups every day of the week, I should say.

There is such a thing as working out too often. You build muscle tissue from resting, and not properly resting will end up burning away muscle mass. No world class bodybuilder trains every day of the week.

to gain mass, you must lift heavy. If you did, then you would not be able to run 50k a week or lift everyday because you would be too sore. There is such a thing as working out too much. Keep that in mind. But they key to building is if you arent pushing your body to maximum, you wont build. Apart from that, you need to be eating about 4 - 5 small meals a day of healthy stuff. Protein, good carbs and fats.

I can only guess that more food would help. Your running is buring calories and useing all your nutrituion?
