Strength exercise
TRX Hammer Curl
How to do it
- Set the suspension trainer straps to a mid length and hold a handle in each hand with a neutral, palms-facing-in grip.
- Walk your feet forward and lean back until your arms are extended and your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- Brace your core to hold that plank-like position, then bend your elbows to curl your body up toward your hands.
- Keep your palms facing each other throughout, working the biceps and forearms in this hammer grip position.
- Lower back down under control to full arm extension, exhaling as you curl in and inhaling as you extend back out.
- Keep your hips in line with your shoulders throughout, avoiding any sag or pike at the waist.
