Form tips
Choose a weight that is challenging but manageable. It's a common mistake to use a weight that's too heavy, which can lead to poor form and potential injury. Your goal should be to complete your reps with good form, not to lift as heavy as possible.
When performing the curl, avoid jerky or swift movements. Instead, use a slow, controlled motion to raise and lower the weight. This not only reduces the risk of injury but also ensures your muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise.
Make sure you're using a full range of motion in your wrist. This means you should let your wrist drop down as far as is comfortable,
