    Concentration form

    I always incorporate concentration curls inmy bicep workout, however, I am a bit worried that maybe my technique is shot to hell!!

    I rest my left upper arm (rear) on the inside of my left thigh, which is spread quite far out, pointing away from the rest of my body. My head is in-line with the bicep. My forearm points toward the other leg. I.e - If you were looking directly at me from in front, you would see my whole arm from left-to-right. I curl my arm toward the shoulder. Kind of a side on movement.

    I've seen clips and shots of concentrations being performed where the lifter has his arm pointing straight forward and curls upwards toward his chest.

    Which technique is correct?...

    The placement of your upper arm should mean nothing. It's still just basic elbow flexion. I don't see how it's possible to have improper form on concentration curls.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    The angle you are using, in this case - "Kind of a side on movement" - is just a bit different from the other example. Neither is right or wrong; there is always some degree of change when performing an exercise, especially when using free weights.

    I've seen concentration curls performed both ways. Try each and use the one that gives you the best results.
