Are you referring to doing curls with an over-handed (pronated) grip?

I think hammer curls are better

They are for the forearms, I don't do them

reverse cable curls are good u could end your workout with them....they are good for your wrists ...

If you are looking to develop your brachioradialis and brachialis, then it will help.

Why do you think they are better?

just make sure that when the elbow is fully flexed, the elbow is only able to travel forward a few inches allowing the forearm to be no more than perpendicular to the floor. This is a common mistake I see as it allows for a relative release of tension in the muscles between repetitions.

BB curls are very hard on the joints....any DB movement is 10x better

Unless you are doing them for forearms, I agree that hammers are far better. Forearms are the limiting factor when doing pronated curls, none of the bicep area will be challenged IMO.
