Thread: Hammer strength

Hammer strength is the name of a company that makes a lot of different machines.

I use them for about 10% of my workout.

my bad it was hammer grip

Ok what the hell are you talking about?????????????????????????????????????
Hammer curls???????????????????????????????????????????

I've swung a hammer or two in my time. So i'd speculate i'd have a mighty strong hammer strength.

gosh...it where you have 2dbs and lie on a bench and take em straight up and staight down w/palms facing each other

Yes, hammer curls. I'd say they're just about the only functional curls. I used to do them and I liked them. Then I started doing only compound movements. It's not that they're bad, I just don't like wasting my time with anything that isn't compound.

for a powerlifter they are useless, but for bodybuilders they can be usefull

Again, they are the most functional curls IMO. Powerlifting doesn't worry about functional strength...

so u say their a must in abicep workout?

I've done them before. It's just another variation of the lift, but doesn't make any profound difference in the recruitment of musculature. I'm referring to pressing movement using a hammer grip by the way...

Hammer curls kick ass. I prefer them over normal curls. Although i like doing a mixture in one set. (one hammer curl followed by one normal curl follwed by a hammer curl, etc.. etc...)

are you talking about a cross body hammer curls or where your palms are facing your side and you take the db staright up?

me? Im talking about palms facing side and going straight up.

yeah i like them too...have they given you results?

I like them.
