Curling
i noticed that when i go the full ROM by flexing my triceps for a second at the bottom, i use much less weight while curling. I tried that for like a month but my friend goes heavy and doesn't make his arms straight at the bottom so it's easier to do. His biceps get wayy bigger than mine and i was wondering if i should still go with the full ROM or go heavy and make my biceps bigger?

I prartically try to invert my elbows at the bottow of my curls. I started trying that after reading something posted on this forum. Very good for curls I think. Pull up and prevent it from falling down as far as possible if you know what I mean.

How do you invert your elbows at the bottom of the curl?

Most studies have shown that the eccentric part of the exercise (ie, when you are un-curling the curl exercise) is where the most growth is stimulated, so take full advantage of it by lowering the weight slowly and completely without resting at the bottom.
