Wtf is a curl?

Its fapping

Think of the curl as a movement pattern rather than a bicep exercise. You flex your elbows and most of your arm musculature flexes along with the bending of the elbow. When you face your palms upwards, the weight pulling your arms straight is mostly negated by tension in the biceps.

>Stand straight
>Hold bar with palms facing away from you
>Dig elbows into sides
>Using elbows as anchor points, use solely your biceps to lift the bar up to your chin
>Do this quickly, hold for 2 seconds, and lower the bar slowly back to the starting position
>Repeat this for as many reps as are in your set

midway through the motion sneak a lunge in and before you go up use your other hand to bring out a box with an engagement ring. Go back up and repeat this process with your other arm.

How do you NOT engage you biceps when training back? My biceps are cucking my back of it's rightful gains. Biceps are bullshit.

You can't. If there's elbow flexion under load, your biceps are gonna be involved.

Of course, but when I'm doing low pulley rows for example, I tend to feel it in my bicpes, not my back, and if I do a longer set, my biceps get tired and pumped, while my back doesn't.

Pinkies towards shoulder is a cue that worked for me.

Do seated incline curls, guaranteed to target the biceps 100%
