What specific muscle do the bicep curl and the hammer curl work?
Would it be good to include them both in the same workout? i do direct bicep work but not a lot

Wth guys. This is a forum. We're here to help other lifters with as much knowledge as we know so they can proceed to make great gains. I'll be the one to actually give a real answer since we apparently have d-bags in this thread. OP, leg extensions and prone leg curls help biceps the best.

Few workouts I do for biceps and what I think hey work out:
1. Standing Curls with a bar - overall bicep size (go heavy on these, but maintain good form; no swinging)
2. Bicep curls with dumbbell - seems to really work on toning the bicep with medium weight, never gone heavy on these
3. Hammer curls - forearms (brachioradialis if I remember correctly) and lateral side of bicep
4. Preacher curls - Lower Bicep, good for peaks
*keep in mind triceps and other surrounding muscle groups are just as important to work out, I would say even more than biceps
