Seated bicep curls help.
Best form for doing these?
At the moment I start at 15kg and work up to 20/22.5kg over 3 or 4 sets of 10 or 8. Obviously I do the curls but I raise the dumbell as tight to my bicep as possible and hold for two seconds on each rep. After 3 sets I literally can't move my arms and the pain is fucking unbelievable... I can't do anything for 5 minutes after.
Is this good form or am I causing damage? I know they say no pain no gain but fuck me this is unreal it feels like somebodies tried ripping my arms off.

Hey Ceazur, does the same rule apply at the top of the movement too? Get an extra squeeze at the top and the elbow does tend to draw out just a bit.

If you're not feeling joint pain maybe that's just too much of a good pump for you!If so,rest that five minutes!Always doing that extra contraction on top and i squeeze the triceps at the bottom. Next time, try it face down on an incline bench, works great too!!!When i'm doing those incline, i have to let the dbll roll on the tip of my finger because my forearms get too pumped up!!
