How to do it

The cross body hammer curl exercise targets the biceps using a cross motion rather than the standard curl.

Steps :

1.) Start by standing up straight and grabbing a dumbbell in each hand with palms facing inward.

2.) While keeping your palms facing in, curl the dumbbell up towards the opposite shoulder, isolating the bicep and squeezing the muscle.

3.) Continue bringing the dumbbell up to touch the shoulder until you feel a stretch in your bicep and hold for a count.

4.) Return back to the starting position and repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
