bicep curl question

[BALLER]

quit often i fell that when i am doing bicep curls i am using more of my shoulder muscles then biceps. why is that? does that mean too much weight?

you could be pulling the bar up to accomodate the up swing of the bar...or your grip is too narrow...i dunno

keep the elbows down and in , dont let them drift up with the curl movement even if you have to lower the weight .

Yup, keep those elbows down and in, a slightly closer than shoulder-width grip activates the biceps muscle the most efficiently.

i am even also speaking with dumb bells. i seem to use my shoulders alot to lift and my elbows do come away from my side a little

If its that much of a issue for you get a Bicep Blaster. They are old school but work very well.

Maybe you are using too much weight.

Drop your Db curld down 10lbs and see how things feel. And take time to focus on your form
