Not Hitting Biceps

[Dude-Man]

The only reason i don't like the idea of cheating is that it's really a good way to get injured..

so I tried all your suggestions with not too much luck, I used very light weight and still felt nothing..... I think I have these problems.


-Im seeming to use my shoulders for the curling in almost a semi-shrug type manner.

-I have carpal tunnel syndrome from computer use

-Its difficult to keep my wrists straight, although I did today



im still lifting with my forearms on barbell curls.... any help guys?

thanks again

You can't possibly be curling it all the way up with your forearms. It would be impossible, you've got to use your bicep at some point. I think your problem is weak forearms.. you're really overusing them in the motion, they're just weak, so they get sore. some day far away from bicep or back day in your workout scheme, do forearm exercises.

i wish you were right, but I think the problem is my forearms are TOO strong and tend to think they need to be doing the curling. my forearms are very big and strong..... i need a way to get them out of it
