    I am not completely sure, i do hammer curls tho. I belive the brachialis(spelling) I heard these help you strengthen up for arm wrestling.

    I did them for the first time in years.....did them for 3-4 months and now am doing Db curls....I will cycle them every 3 months or so. They seem to have made my arms stronger.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

    hammer curls work the outside of the bicep more than the inside.

    No they don't. That is a function of the angle of the shoulder joint, not the orientation of your wrist.
