hammer curls with strange bar?
hi everybody,
in out gym we have a (strange) kind of bar which is used for hammer curls. I dont know how to explain how the bar looks but it is not very long and u can have a good hammer grip with it.
but when i take the hammer grip it is less wide as shoulder width because of that bar. so the distance bewteen my shoulders is more than the distance between my hands. And when i lower the bar my shoulders are pulled a bit towards each other. I dont know if thats ok or not. I hope that you know about which bar i talk.
i have tried to draw it. look at the attached file plz and give ur comments.

i dont feel like i am in a position to give advice for the effectiveness of the exercise.. I am too much of a novice. however, it is my opinion that, if you like it, it will be effective for you to use.

From my experience, i dont really like it, i dont know about the gains you get, but my arms didnt feel right. Just like the position i had to have my hands and stuff, i prefer db's. But give it a shot and if you like it go for it.
the jakes on you.

Scottbank should be a preachers bench the one that we used for Preachers crulls I think that is nameed it Scott bank becuase Lary Scott use to do this exercises a lot.... or maybe even he invented it
