Form Cues

Keep elbows stationary, curl toward shoulders, control the descent, maintain grip position, focus on bicep contraction

Common Mistakes

Moving elbows forward, using momentum, poor grip position, incomplete range of motion, swinging bar

Progression Tips

Increase weight gradually, add pause at top, perform with resistance bands, use different grip positions
