Ryan, don-t get me wrong on this I love your videos your a very smart guy, and I know this video is only about growing biceps, but the bottom half of the movement is crucial in strengthening your tendons, obviously your using most of your forearm barely any biceps but that-s the part that makes your arms in general stronger, take bench for example, stronger tendons equals less likely to cause a tear, you can also strengthen tendons stretching but other than that short range of motion is pretty good for really growing those biceps

Ye man for me it really helps the best (helps growth) when I burn the biceps not lift hard big shit. When I lift big shit I ofc get stress and stuff as well tho. Maybe it's the -shock the muscle- anti-homeostatis thing, but the sense of the muscle is built much more with shitload of reps for sure, dunno if growth is superior, but when I can flex it even when it's extended, this is it, more control more result in the future, it's a small ass muscle: >

it's about tension right. so you have to slow down the reps for the first few reps and then continue at a bit of a faster pace. but while doing this keep the contraction and squeeze as much as you can. keep the elbows planted and don't move them. people tend to move the shoulder slightly backward which causes slight movement with the elbow offsetting the bicep curl. keep it planted.

Make a lot of sense. I was 17 sacking groceries at my local store in the late 80-s. Poor as dirt. I was high repping the window counter weights on a house that was probably built in the 50-s. I estimate they weighed 5-8lbs. each. My then girlfriend later confessed she was attracted to my huge guns. I might have done 6-8 sets then. Thanks for sharing another great video.

Why it's so difficult to understand?
-Full range of motion- refers to full range of motion for that specific muscle. For bicep curls that means your shoulder (or any other part of your body) shouldn't help your bicep to lift that weight.
Also the way you let weight fall all the way down is pointless because your bicep isn't doing anything.

Lol, 20 reps and above should be defined along with set count. Can you imagine doing 3-3 exercises/sets at > 20 reps. You-re talking 250 reps for bi-s. A bit of overtraining and not maintainable intensity wise, I-d personally would rather train bi-s like menzter. Slow intense reps focusing on the squeeze and time under tension

My man Ryan. Always cuts straight thru the BS with real experience, knowledge/and science to back it up. he's spot ON. Everything he said here I've managed thru time to figure out on my own, I also focus on equal eccentric reps as much as concentric with good form. Another great video and contribution. Well done Ryan!

Another tip.
Train the different angles of the biceps Brachi and don-t ignore the brachialis.
Also don-t ignore the esssentic.
Common mistake is most people train the the short head ( medial) but ignore the long head (lateral. Hit the lateral too doing hammer curl or reverse grip.

Dude! That full range of motion tip was the truth. I did biceps yesterday and normally I have a tender elbow the day after. Today zero elbow issues and only bicep burn. It feels amazing. Do you recommend shortening the range for triceps, and leg curl/extentions aswell?
