The seated hammer curl develops the biceps and forearm muscles. If you’re a bodybuilder looking to mix up your biceps workout or just an “average joe” trying to beef up your “guns” seated hammer curls deliver results. The neutral grip alleviates pressure on the wrist and is therefore a good option for anyone with wrist problems.
Standing hammer curls build the biceps (brachialis) and forearm (brachioradialius) muscles.

Add standing hammer curls to your workout to build great looking arms.
