Dumbbell Peacher Hammer Curl

Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing your thighs. Keep your elbows close to your torso and exhale as you curl the weight up to shoulder level. Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position. Repeat for desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Dumbbell Peacher Hammer Curl

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Dumbbell Peacher Hammer Curl using your dumbbell.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your biceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
