Brian Donovan | Online Fitness Coach

How To: Dumbbell Hammer Curl – Standing straight up, start with both dumbbells at your sides. Elbows should stay close to the body throughout the movement. Palms should be facing each other. – While keeping your upper arm stationary, exhale and curl the weight forward while contracting the biceps. Continue to raise the weight until the biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbell is at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief moment as you squeeze the biceps. Keep the elbow stationary and only move your forearm. – After the brief pause, inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position. – Repeat for desired amount of reps.

I love any transformation, subtle or drastic. It's my time to shine, to get in my zone and paint away…. When you love what you do it simply shows in your work😉 Swipe 👈🏼 to see her before. P.s @framar backwards bibs are too bomb! I dont color without them. Color can get messy but with these I don't have to worry about that! #JoannaIdaly

It’s easy to take boss photos if you have 18 models in front of you with a whole lot of class and sass 😎
