Overview

Hammer Curl is a strength exercise that mainly works the biceps in the upper arm. Hold a weight in each hand with a neutral grip, so your palms face each other. Then curl the weights up toward your shoulders. This grip also targets the brachioradialis, a muscle on the outer forearm that helps flex the elbow joint.
