What do you lift more weight with? Hammer curls or standard (palms up/preacher?) curls? Personally I lift more doing hammer curls but maybe I am strange.

hammer u have ur palms facing eachother and u curl the weight that way
standard u hold the weigth with ur palms facing eachother and then u supinate ur grip to make ur palms face upwards while in the curl..its jsut the standard curl that everyone does

in a hammer curl you use your foream alot more as a synergist muscle than you would with a normal curl
u hold a hammer curl like a hammer
