Form tips
For the hammer grip, hold the dumbbells so that your palms are facing each other. This grip targets the muscles differently than a traditional row and can help to improve wrist stability. Avoid gripping the dumbbells too tightly as this can cause unnecessary tension in your wrists and forearms.
When performing the row, pull the dumbbells up towards your chest in a controlled manner, keeping your elbows close to your body. Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the weights, as this can lead to injury and doesn't effectively work your muscles.
