Your biomecanic drawing is wrong. The lever arm is still the elbow, not the shoulder. The stress on the bicep is the same, by driving your arm forward, you increase anterior delt activation. Your forearms dont stretch when you curl in and arc. The tension is just moved at the beginning of the movement instead of being at 90 degree elbow flexion. That being said. Everything you said is spot on I just wanted to point out that.

Absolutely love this series its helped me out a ton. Im not sure if this comment will be seen by you but if it is I have a question. Im a martial artist and have tendonitis in my right elbow so doing curls tends to cause me some pain there and I have to stop. Now after watching this I know my form needs some correction, but is there anything else that could be done to build bicep strength without jeopardizing my elbow?

Jeff, just wanted to run this by you. Do you think at the top of your bicep curl you are actually taking the weight or tension off of the bicep when you go inward toward your neck? Shouldnt you stop before you get to the horizontal part of the lift? I feel it takes the pressure off of the lift at that point Thank you for all your videos and inspiring me to do things the right way

A quick doubt, in the previous video (How to Train ARMS for Growth) you had mentioned that it is good to go heavy on the beginning of the exercises since its the first workout as it is said that you stronger earlier in the training session this heavy movement should be performed first. so here in 2: 44 it say to go lighter since going heavy would lead of form break down.

Wait, hold up hold up. Some people say going wider grip targets the short head, and going narrow grip targets the long head, which builds that peak. Here you seem to be saying the opposite. So which is it then? If I try it, I feel the contraction more strongly in the shorter head, especially more so the wider I go. Am I doing something wrong then? Aaaah

The standard barbell curl travels in an arc versus a drag curl the bar travels in a straight line. a bicep curl is not a all in one exercise. it Targets the belly of the bicep mid-range. to work the attachments the origin and insertion. takes two other exercises that hang curl versus incline curl Synergistically the bicep works no matter what type of curl

Overall it is much harder for taller skinnier people to gain muscle mass and look much bigger than shorter people with shorter limbs as well. Not saying ALL tall skinny people won't have Excellent muscle growth but most it is much harder and both require alot of work, but damn my friends just lift a dumbbell and there arms grow me not so much.

Hey Jeff, just a small correction, at 5: 39 if your forearm doesn't change in length, the moment arm about the elbow joint cannot change. However, there will be a greater moment arm for the shoulder joint (which is what your picture actually illustrates, adding more front delt as you flex the shoulder. Great video, keep putting them out
