Best Hammer Curl?

I agree with what Josh said. Great hammer curl strength with a weak front wrist and your overall backpressure on the table will be subpar. Ive seen guys who can hammer curl a ton not have much backpressure because thier wrist is bent out of position easily and its hard to generate backpressure from this position. . .

Unless you train it..........

I think you should certainly incorporate some training with your wrist bent so you're more ready for it in a match. That said, your backpressure is going way down once your wrist is flopped, I don't care how much you train it.

i think the only way to isolate the weight and get a good idea of a max poundage is doing them on a preacher bench arm straight down and up for a rep.

To dangerous for negs so I don't even think about doing it.......

huh???

I wouldn't do it, I feel more safe doing negs seated concentration style......so I can stop the dumbell at the point I want to. Doing preachers makes this a little more hard to do than I like.

I don't know what your confused about it's pretty self explanatory.

I was just talking about doing negs, I know he was talking about a different movement.....

Yeah.......but it would be sick to be able to apply some wrist poping back pressure with your wrist flopped back.

im going to try to do get a workout in today i broke my big toe thursday so it still hurts but doing them on a preacher bench is easier than some big dude yanking and torking on your arm and wrist at a tournament and you could always just drop the weight if it didn't come back up or we train together and help each other out at a sign of sticking or reach down and help with your left hand plus you can put a stop at the bottom to rest the weight on when it gets stuck .

Dan-Good luck with todays workout. Have you ever thought about having a training log? I think alot of people could learn from how you do things.

Thanks Austin I found a new pain pill from this broken toe Advil liquid gels.They are great.They also gave me tylox pills and I didn't have to take any yet.As for a workout log I could not keep up a regular schedule with my work and part time work so I workout when I can.Sometimes 10 or 11 at night and after work like I told garythedino I'm just lazy and read everyones posts and vids to relax.Good luck in your armwrestling this year when you compete

I guess....but I always found armwrestling easier to do for me than weight lifting. No matter who is pulling me it just feels right I dunno.

But yeah I train by myself, so I just feel safer doing it the way I do.

I hope you train well today man!!!
