- Start the curl with the correct body position. A straight body with the shoulders back and down increases loading on the biceps.
- Tense the triceps, abs, and glutes before starting a curl.
- Contract the biceps as hard as possible while lifting. When the arm is fully flexed, finish the curl by rotating the shoulders up, bringing the elbow higher.
- Do not use your front delts and traps to lower the weight. Make the biceps do the work.
