Description:	The hammer curl is a great exercise for the biceps and forearms. Set up by grasping a set of dumbbells and standing straight up with the dumbbells by your sides. You should be using a neutral grip, meaning your palms are facing your body. Bend your arms slightly to take tension into the biceps. Keeping your body fixed and elbows in at your sides, slowly curl the dumbbells up as far as possible. Squeeze the biceps at the top of the movement, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.
Common Error(s):	Inappropriate momentum
