Pinwheel Curl: how to do it and form tips

A hammer curl variation where the dumbbell curls across the body toward the opposite shoulder, shifting emphasis to the brachioradialis and outer bicep head for greater arm width.

Form tips

  1. Keep your elbow tucked at your side as you curl across the midline of your body.
  2. Don't swing — the cross-body path is enough novelty without adding momentum.
  3. Alternate arms or perform both simultaneously depending on your preference for mind-muscle connection.
