Coaching cues
Form tips
Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the weights. Instead, focus on controlling the upward and downward movement. This not only engages your biceps more effectively but also minimizes the risk of injury.
Make sure to fully extend your arms at the bottom of the movement and curl the weights as high as possible without moving your elbows from their position. Half-reps or limited range of motion will not fully engage your biceps and can limit your progress.
Your elbows should remain stationary and close to your body throughout the exercise.
