Plate hammer curl

The plate hammer curl is an exercise that targets the long head of the biceps as well as the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles. Typically hammer curls are done with dumbbells, but in this case, holding a weight plate places the hands in the same neutral position.

Plate hammer curl Instructions

Plate hammer curl muscle diagram
  1. Start by standing straight with a weighted plate held by both hands and arms fully extended. For the best results, grab the weighted plate at 3:00 and 9:00 o'clock position.
  2. Your feet should be shoulder width apart from each other and the weighted plate at your thighs. This is the starting position.
  3. Slowly lift the plate up while keeping the elbows in and the upper arms stationary until your biceps and forearms touch while exhaling. The plate should be evenly aligned with your torso at this point.
  4. Feel the contraction for a second and begin to lower the weight back down to the starting position while inhaling
  5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
