hammer curl

Neutral-grip arm curl

A hammer curl is a bicep exercise performed with dumbbells held vertically—palms facing inward toward each other rather than upward—mimicking the grip on a hammer's handle.

The neutral grip targets the brachialis and forearm muscles more than standard curls: I've been doing hammer curls to build my forearms.
