Im a big fan of dumbbell hammer curls and include them in every bicep workout. Hammer curls target your biceps and forearms. You can do them standing up or seated. Doing them seated adds difficulty and prevents you from swinging your body during the movement. You can also do them with both arms or single-arm. Its important to stretch your biceps fully at the bottom. Try flexing your tricep at the bottom of the movement to ensure your bicep is fully stretched. Also, make sure you raise the dumbbell all the way up to your shoulders to get a full contraction. Hammer Curls are a good exercise if you suffer from elbow tendonitis. I typically do 3-4 sets to failure in the 8-12 rep range.
