What is this machine?

Vasarakääntö on vapailla painoilla tehtävä liike, joka kuormittaa ensisijaisesti Hauikset.

The exercise suits a beginner: the range of motion is guided and you can start light.

An exercise with free weights demands more stabiliser muscles and balance than the equivalent machine exercise.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Swinging the torso to throw the weight up instead of curling cleanly with the arms. Letting the elbows drift forward at the top, which turns the curl into a half front raise. Rotating the wrists at the top and rushing the lower, missing the brachialis-building tension. Using too heavy a weight, which forces partial reps and short-changes the muscle stretch.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Hauikset.
