Barbell Bicep Curl Mistake
ฝัง

- A common bicep curl mistake is being too strict with your technique. This is when you try to be completely still and are not allowing any movement in your upper arm during a bicep curl. But, what you need to understand is that biceps are also involved in shoulder flexion. So, if you want to stimulate all of the muscle fibres and achieve that peak contraction let your elbows move slightly forward and bring that bar closer to your face when doing a bicep curl.
Do whatever hurts your biceps bruh
So I should hit them with a hammer
Exactly. That's what I thought 😂
What if it hurts my tendon
@@wyattreed3396dont
@@wyattreed3396means muscle is stronger than tendon, also means you need to start doing very low weight extremely high rep, 100-200 reps. This'll help strengthen tendon. Takes a week or two, 2 times a week 3 sets two times a day 100-200 reps "more often not equal better".
I literally just watched five videos in a row that said not to do this. Fitness TH-cam is so broken😂
was it by max euceda?
@@malikthebrit335yesss just saw escuda’s one
That's interesting because Max Euceda seems to give instructions that contradict what other more experienced and known bodybuilders on TH-cam's tell you NOT to do. All this conflicting info is confusing.
😂😂😂😂😂
Then Watch the shorts of Davis biley related to barbell curls.
I will never understand how to workout. Just do what works best for you. You get all confused when you start listening to other ppl, cuz everyone tells you things from one end of the spectrum to the other, and everyone thinks their way is the only way. Learn what works for you and do it!
well said my man
Lol you know bud this is a science and what he’s saying is spot on
@@comfortablyad2164 Never said it wasn't.
@@comfortablyad2164 If youre not working with cables or bands the second form will take the load away from your biceps since your biceps will only be working for half of the rep, even though shoulder flexion is involved you shouldn't use momentum for curls or bring your upper arm 90° to your chest.
(Using momentum turns curls into cheat curls which are a muscle building movement but their purpose is different and bringing your upper arm 90° to your chest should only be acceptable if you're working with a cable)

@@bobthegreatblob nice you're an armwrestler. I just started armwrestling lol
Your gym trainer will never allow you to do that
This is how I've always done them, but I see other videos on TH-cam saying this wrong or it's better to do it a certain way. This way has always felt the most comfortable to me and I seem to get a response from it. Glad to see you agree.
different curls and shoulder flexion equals different heads of the bicep is targeted theres nothing wrong with the first curl
@@kameron2035 correct
John meadows says both styles are correct....... so both styles are correct, john knew all.
Not to be funny but if you do it this way the anterior shoulder musles get involved a lot more as the centre of mass is shifted forwards (#basicbiomechanics)
Keeping my arms closer to my body definitely let’s me feel it more
Same
Bro the first video is the real deal
Ive tried other forms and this one works for me because I can feel it more in my biceps now. Thanks for the tip
Yes After that switch your wrists and turn it to a overhead press to activate total Bicep flexion.
I watched 10 videos saying not to do this then I get this
Who are you going to believe? I hope my arguments make sense
@@lean4ever_ well if u wanna isolate biceps.
Watch the shorts of David diley related to barbell curls he says the same thing about elbow movement during curls.
Thanks
For me I have learned the key is to do a mixture of both. First work out with the bar keeping elbows in place, then do a second round of reps with moving your elbows.
Yes, you should let your elbows move slightly forward, but this wasn't slightly forward
Slightly? Lol
He has made his elbow to moon and say slightly 🤣🤣hehe
Fair play. I did move them too far forward.
This will shift the work to your anterior deltoids, it is wrong if you want to train only your biceps! It's important not to get the shoulder involved during the exercise no matter what, you need to keep the elbows fixed and just curl the weight, and when you get fatigued, don't use momentum to curl the weight, do half reps instead but always keep the focus on the curling motion! This is the only way to gain the maximum work from your biceps.

I do them strict for like 7-8 reps until i cant and then move my elbows for another 3-4 reps
correct bring a little bit before to aling hand and elbow in vertical positiion
Biceps are involved in shoulder flexion?
Hmmm never hear that one before
They are just google it or ask chatgpt
They actually are. Certain muscles are designated to work together (eg back muscles) however the conclusion that activating your delts will help activate your biceps more is just false. Just curl the weight in a controlled manner the way it feels natural and don't try to force anything.
Just saw a video of a guy saying the exact contrary
Which one makes more sense to you?
@@lean4ever_ i don't know honestly
Having protracted shoulders when you bicep curl only makes you “feel” the exercise more because youre training in a shorter position of the bicep fibers, which means you will have more control and awareness.
In terms of pulling your shoulders back and curling (more like a drag curl) youre going to get a longer position of the bicep at the start and we all know (hopefully) that more stretch= more muscle
Doing this isnt “wrong” but it isnt “right” either
It would suffice if you dont have the shoulder girdle control and bicep strength to fully lengthen
a common mistake is that people think that the anteflexion is not under resistance with a strict execution of the curl. If you don't, it'll turn into a drag curl.
slightly not fully 💀
Would using your shoulder not take load off of your bicep? So instead of the movement being completely performed by a bicep movement it’s half bicep half back or something
Shoulder would contribute but this is compensated by a longer range of motion all together. Your bicep is able to achieve peak contraction when the shoulder is slightly flexed.
@@lean4ever_ i didnt realize you were doing shoulder curls
Literally the opposite advice of the video I saw before it 😂
Thank you for that brother
pleasure to help
I’m going to try this form next time I curl
Only if u have been in gym for some time and can control the movement through out.
Makes sense 😂 why do I workout like a robot 😂❤
'Slightly forward'
Mf not even feeling the weight at that point lmao
Bruh.... Rest in peace 🕊️
His voice lets me know he's legit. 😂
🤣🥂
I try to only use this when towards my last reps people always said to me it was bad form
Everytime I do it l like this I'll have guys come up to me and tell me to do it another way
good tip but the execution is still a bit off. dont lift your elbows that high, maybe around 2-3 inches lower than how the guy did it and dont forget to lean back during failure reps
You know what’s also involved in shoulder flexion? Your freaking shoulders. I have to admit I will do this variation of curl once in awhile with a cable straight bar attachment. It’s just the front delts are also taking a lot of the work away from the biceps.
There is nothing wrong with doing the 1st one. I only allow humerus movement to assist going past failure
Whatever hurts your bicep the most, do
I got myself a 3rd degree burn on my arm but I see no gains! Liar!
@@unluckyseven04 lool
He seems like foreigner in bollywood
I also thought this
Lol
Whats bollywood? Lol.

Some say yes, others no. No one knows. Try both and whatever gives you results, stick with that one.
The next video says not to do this
Just tight your Core and Pects and that already gives You all the stability that You need on Back and shoulders, with that you can go up with whatever you need from your shoulders.
Cool couldn’t move my are for three days nope thanks
when we bring the arm foward or startin a bit more shoulder flexion, does that target the lower bicep area more?
I am not too sure. Will have to do some research
No it targets your shoulder more instead of your brachialis
So that at the very top allow the weight is off your bicep? This doesn't make sense to me...
It's not that black and white. Biceps flex both at the elbow and shoulder joint. You not gonna lose tension having a bit of shoulder flexion. Think, after you fully contracted your biceps and flexed the elbow allow your elbows come up slightly to get that squeeze.
@Lean4ever_ That makes sense actually. Even if I was to hold the weight at the top it would engage my bicep.
The bicep curl is an elbow flexion movement, not a shoulder flexion movement. This is ridiculous!
I literally heard someone to not move your biceps.
Omg what size bar is that???? It's perfect! Link? Info?please !! I've been searching forever for the rightone ...
Les Mills Smart Bar for Body Pump.
thats not slightly forward
What did he say
When someone doesn’t like doing it right and comes up with a video saying do it wrong aka the way they do it.
Wrong information wtf
The main thing is not swinging the body. And doing them under control. You will get more from a 66lb barbell than a 88lb barbell done sloppy.
Everythings wrong sometime or later like doing the triceps bench dip, upper barbell raises.
Who else noticed thaf the plate is 5 kilos
Bro how!!! 😂
lmao every video I’ve seen on this says the first one is correct
I feel doing it more stricte is better for me it Eliminates swinging and and I foucs a lot on biceps and not on other muscles
This is completely wrong
No. Your biceps actually DO work in supporting shoulder flexion similar to the front delts in a suplinated position
You are completely wrong. Go watch some jeff nippard and renaissance periodization

Yes, a slight movement is fine (but not necessary). However, what you showed was not at all slight.
Nice chin
I thought that lifting your upper arm uses shoulder muscles when you’re actually trying to target the biceps…
people make anything for content these days duno why i waste my time watching videos as a week later everything changes again back to watching the old guys from the 80s that content dont change day to day
Why giving wrong information common man wake up
So bring your front delts into the workout?.....
Best way to do biceps is don't move your elbows try to stay still as must as possible you can get stronger biceps.
“Let your elbow move slightly” bro you shot your elbows out like a foot wtf
Yes I did realize the mistake.
the other clip said that this is mistake 😟😟, now I'm confused 😦😦
Exactly 💯💯💯
What are those plates?? They look disgustingly good
This never works bicep properly though
Good one bro
Is he from 2forigeners in Bollywood
No
I hope you are joking😂😂😂😂
Bro this ain't a joke 💀
@@drmate2611 💀💀
@@keung9597 💀
Yea this is ☠️
Literally increase the Weight/Sets after your “normal” rep becomes your easy rep. This video was so useless.
A different video said not to do the 2nd movement? Idk what to believe anymore 😅
Letting your elbows move slightly forward will lead to better bicep contraction try it yourself
The first one is right form. The second is so wrong
Ok so your not wrong but in the video you brought your arms wayyyy to far forward, 2-3 inches is fine
Fair point
wrong you never bring to the top position you release tension and rest on elbow joint
Except with free weights, the very top of the movement has virtually zero weight on it…. With cable curls, maybe, but with free weights, keep your elbows slightly in front of your body and only flex the bicep while you curl, keep the elbows in place
Here's an idea for all of you in the comments: DO BOTH !
Thanks but , shouldn't we use a Z bar ? Because that one will fuck up the hand doll
No lol i don't know what bar you're using
Thanks but I’m good
You had it but then you lost it.
Bro said slightly
Dude... no.
Bro the first video is the real deal
The accent is so thick lmaao😂😂😂
Skinny dude doing 5 pound barbel curls giving workout advice?
im sorry but this is completely wrong, by doing it with this technique you are creating no tension on the biceps, if you want to do them right just tuck your elbows but allow yourself to cheat on those last reps if necessary
Interesting.
the biceps are a very weak shoulder flexors and it only moves the shoulders inward with the help of coracobrachialis, you will not gain anything from doing this. the only way for you to gain a benefits from this if your shoulder muscle is somehow not functioning (can't be nerve damage since the auxiliary nerve is what feeds the deltoid + branches into musculocutaneous nerve which supply the biceps) this is extremely rare to see so, your tip is wrong. I get where you got the idea from, you went to see some anatomy reference and concluded that... but sorry to say it doesn't work like that...
It’s funny I saw a shirt that said not to move your elbows forward and now this telling me it’s okay to move them forward that’s why I don’t listen to any of this just ones that work for me
Nonsense. I did them that way, made no gains. Did them strict and my biceps grew rapidly. Good form and good tempo, with reps done to failure is all you need
Bruh!
Bro are you the guy from 2 forgnrs in india
Just looked it up... Similarities are scary 😅
i will share After Doing This..Just Wait
Just watched two videos saying otherwise
just saw a video that told me to do the opposite 😂
That’s slightly 😂😂😂😂
Its amazing. Just 3 shorts before someone showed to exactly not do this .. its getting boring with all this fake information.
Wt is dis
I am not joking
