Are Cross Body Hammer Curls Better than Regular Hammer Curls?

you must be new

[@mikehuff9793]

@@ano3478no….sorry, but I been watching dud’s shorts for a year, and this is the first time I’ve heard him speak too. That’s the EXACT reason why this comment is getting so much upvotes. Why would anyone make this exclamation if we hadn’t seen this judgemental youngster speak for a long time. Think, McFly, think. And what’s wrong with being new here? Is being new in a gym a bad thing too? You gonna run around discouraging people the rest of your life? Is that how you have fun?😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@HAILProphecy___]

I usually do crossbody to failure when i cant hammer curl anymore.

[@Saradomin65]

Same

[@RedHero1]

I might need to start doing that.

[@mehmetkork15]

Also do drop set to 3 extra on your last set . Thank me later

[@notgoodatall]

Same with swinging

[@Rob_BBX]

I like it because it stops me from swinging, as it concentrates the mass at the centre of my body, making it more stable

[@jolothefighter]

id say its a good variation! if the normal version is getting stale after a coupke weeks or months, you can try the crossbody and the novelty will aid w some gains. you can also start doing other forms of curls, cables, incline, ez bar, etc

[@andyfernandez6237]

Confused as to why you are saying it will add gains.

[@xxvip3r_lightning22]

@@andyfernandez6237it’s true! even slight variation changes on excercises you’ve been doing for weeks and months can force your muscle to rapidly re-adapt to a new stimulus. Diminishing returns is a thing.

I like these vids where you explain bro! I'm getting into the gym as a beginner and its super helpful!!

[@mikehuff9793]

YOU’RE the guy I’m always talking about. I like his instructional videos that adds context as well. See, I’m not a newbie. I was winning state championships in Olympic lifting before this kid was born. He’s definitely educated and knows great hypertrophy techniques. I used to criticize this dude HARD for his old videos where he just sneered at everything showing nothing but disdain and disappointment and judging nitpicky techniques, with no added context. It can be VERY intimidating and discouraging for people like yourself who are new. I am so happy to see this talented great looking healthy young man effecting positive energy into your life. I knew he had the knowledge and potential to be amazing. Looks like he’s on the road!!!!❤

[@mikehuff9793]

THIS IS THE BEST SHORT YOU’VE MADE!!!❤ Edit: I love the hand position on the bottom of the upper plate. It allows the brachial muscles to take more impact than the forearm. Great technique

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Thanks for an explanation! Keep it up.

You inspiring me. Keep up with your great work 😊.

[@jgreen2015]

Hmm this may actually help with my current elbow pain

[@vancomycinb1193]

That’s why I do them. No elbow pain

[@ayomideadesipo7255]

I prefer crossbody because I’m able to balance better when switching hands vs if I was doing both at once. This also means I can do more weight for cross body. So I think it might be “better” in that regard 🤷

[@aydenbagwell2889]

The explanation actually came this time 😮

[@MisterChunkah]

Mmm I’ve always done cross body and I’ve always felt it more, traditional never gave me the squeeze I was going for except I don’t just rotate my shoulder I also push my elbow forwards a bit once it’s rotated so I’m basically curling it on an angle up towards my chest and that’s where you’d actually feel the squeeze the most up to a 90 degree angle. I learned this several years ago when I first started out and realized I wasn’t training it as best as I could the traditional way

[@l.BeefCake.l]

Cross body curls help to isolate the brachioradialis and other forearm flexors more. The standard hammer curl works mostly the long head of the bisep. A better variation id recomend for forearm flexor isolation is the reverse concentration curl. Crazy forearm pumps

[@oscarestrada6276]

it trains other parts of the muscles and flexors better, it just adds to the overall growth of your arm, but it is not something to do religiously as regular curls and hammer curls are the main gains.

[@Foxentails]

That song is this guy's entrance theme at this point.

[@timetaker100]

You also target the short head of the bicep more on the cross

[@disciple6368]

Bro finally started explaining

[@Patrick33194]

I feel a better mind muscle connection with across the body, so prefer those ^^

[@tokenlow5870]

I do cross body since it doesn't make my elbows ache, yeah I'm working on it

[@KG-jh4on]

Hammer curl the positive, supinate the negative and pause at bottom for a second before switching back to hammer and going up.

[@jzn5664]

First time I heard bro talk 🎉

[@disequalone]

I'd only recommend it if you have damaged elbows.

[@максиммартынов-я1ь]

Make dumbell horisontal while pulling up and you ll feel the difference of crossbody curl

[@mikehuff9793]

On a serious note: I have spent over 36 years in the gym bro. THIS is golden. THIS is how you move with integrity and grace. I rag on you because I know you have the potential. This honey right here will definitely attract more flies. You leveled up with this one. I’m using you as an example in my addiction recovery class this morning. You’re growing, and it looks amazing ❤

[@yongkysiaw6597]

I prefer doing curls with cables.

[@daikohamada4666]

Just wondering here, is it normal to have pain at the bicep for 3 days after doing normal dumbell excersice?

[@akaibs]

I feel my biceps more and swing less on cross body but yeah normal hammer curls are good too.

[@tibib0ss]

Traditional hammer curl never triggers my brachialis....

[@donaldnguyen19]

heres one more piece of advice, if you do a proper back day, then you dont to do this exercise. Its kinda how front delts are trained on a push

[@Status_Bleach]

U talked a lot but didnt even answer the question

[@Matt11211]

Use your ears

[@phylippezimmermannpaquin2062]

The answer isnt clear at all​@@Matt11211

[@padiowadio]

Am I correct in saying the cross body hammer curl does more for your forearms as well or is it about the same? Because I get some mad work done on my forearms after the cross curls.

[@sergiocobian2945]

Damnnnnnn the more you know,I've been targeting biceps wrong

[@fine9375]

So it moves some of the shoulder muscle activation to the chest?

[@petrkalashnikov2430]

Crossbody hammer curls dont allow to curl at the same time. So while you curl with one hand, the other is resting. That means, that youll take more time to reach failure, and muscles will get less stress and stimulus for growth because of that rest

[@Blue_G707]

Not unless you get a heavier weight. It works fine for me I feel the burn after doing seated bicep curls

[@aquva29]

I do this only when my wrists are tired 👁️👄👁️

[@mbrown7325]

The internal rotation might also decrease the biceps usage. I’m not sure if it gets far enough to have that effect or not.

[@rohitbhatnagar1104]

I still don't understand. Can someone please explain me

[@khairulasyraf1240]

Just do both

[@generalabz5684]

Forearms more involved when doing crossbody hammer curls, traditional hammer curls focuses more on the big bicep head, both are great, it just depends on personal preference

[@suv103]

Not finishing the video keeping you big as hell

[@ThatGirlVick]

YES SPANISH TRANSLATION!!!!

[@boaanzie4730]

bro is onto nothing

[@romeblacksun6323]

What if you do alternate hammer curls and twist the dumbbells at top of the curls , does that introduce biceps into hammer curls . Or just wrist strength

[@Frizzylofi]

Bring video on overhead tricep extension with cable low and high ???

[@Luke-vj3qn]

I think the only pro is that doing one arm at a time you can grind harder

"You rotate your shoulder" *Me with EDS* Are you sure about that? Also, you mean my elbow isn't supposed to bend that way? 😭

[@watermydriedupsoul]

I disagree, there's a difference for sure, people just have not caught up yet. Why would you preacher curl vs normal curls right? There is a difference.

[@BadKnightLv01]

I can't stand a heavy ass weight swinging so close to my manhood, you'll never see me doing cross body 😂 also I HATE doing single arm curls, I get bored to death

[@koo2222]

What is this sound

[@AggaVan]

Bro did alotta yapping n didnt really answer the question

[@alexdenommee3219]

The other elbow flexors? The brachialis, the main elbow flexor? I think you lost the sauce

[@alexdenommee3219]

Pretend your holding and turning a key with your thumb and index finger, that's the main motion of the bicep, supination. The motion called "curling" involves more than just the biceps.

I didn’t understand, does he mean one is better than others , coz I do cross body and my goal for that is brachials(whatever that muscle name was). Can anyone help thanks

[@BobTheism]

I think he's saying (and I would agree) that doing crossbody can possibly help you stay a bit more stable but either way will train the target muscles equally well.

[@jaydeestrong]

i also got confused lol. but i think he meant both are ok

Hammer curls in general are a shit curl just do a normal curl there’s not purpose to doing hammer curls over regular they don’t hit the bicep as well
