Upright, so the shoulder is not held behind the body.
Wrist Hammer Curl (Dumbbell)
Upright and neutral, no shoulder stretch and no wrist load.
How Swolver coaches it
This lift is read from your own sessions. When it goes flat for four weeks, Swolver names the likely cause in plain words, such as weekly sets that dropped, and the one change to make. The rules are all on the method page.
