Hi had a quick question what would you think is better going for lesser weights or having a slightly bad form because in my case I don’t wanna go any lower because on my last two I’m literally pulling that sh up for 4-5 seconds and, completing my set one rep behind muscle failure. I guess you kinda brought tangos up but if you or someone else could give some clarification that’d be cool
sean's form is actually a bit off. it is usually allowed to swing the elbow a little but not that much. you're just still adding stress to your delts. the range of motion for bicep curls doesn't necessarily have to be up to your face.
The bicep does aid in shoulder flexion too. Sometimes you’ll feel the extra squeeze in the bicep. It’s because the bicep crosses the shoulder joint. That being said, you don’t have to raise it so high that you fatigue the shoulder before the biceps
@@aidans_journey02 that "sometimes" is not necessary for hypertrophy. the moment your whole arm moves and not just your forearms, your shoulder muscles will aid on carrying the weight.
Using the shoulders on the final portion of the curl isn't a problem. Doctor Mike and Jared from Renaissance Periodization go over this in detail in their channel. The main problem is that he needs to fully extend his arms and keep his elbow a bit forward.
It's actually correct to use your shoulder movement, as long as the shoulder isn't used to "swing" the weight in to motion. The biceps doesn't just end at your shoulder, it actually extends into your shoulder. So if you want to fully strech and contract the whole biceps fiber, you go all the way up, which includes a shoulder movement.
@@CrniWuk damn all this time I've been trying to keep my shoulders and arms as straight at possible without moving them, you're telling me I've been doing it wrong fir all this time haha😅
On biceps and triceps, I always "lock" my elbows next to my body and only move my lower arms. That way it is purely done by the target muscle, the other muscles only lock my upper arm
@@urmommmmmmmm897facts this clown in this vid was still moving his elbows. To really test ur true bicep strength keep ur elbows still. The way this dude shows in the vid never the way i was taught this in my weightlifting class this dudes a cocky clown
I thought the same thing. Then I look a closer look and realized that this guy 100% looks like he takes steroids, so it’s no wonder he can’t even do bicep curls correctly while having suspiciously balloon-y arms.

Only newbies & influencers trying appeal to newbies keep arms perfectly by their sides. Lifting them up makes your biceps contract Harder which is why everybody with real world experience does is
Love how the incorrect form is hilariously exaggerated bc your “correct” form is also bad Edit: I take it back. I now realise he's got fine form Second Edit: I take back the takeback. The elbow movement is clearly cheating the rep.
he's correcting the elbow flexion portion of the movement, if you actually look at his other videos, he does perform the correct movement and advises towards that
@@smartsimplefit physique pics are irrelevant when he’s stating facts He’s not making fun of anyone’s physique, just the form which is indeed not correct
I love how he still moves his shoulders slightly at the top. Part of the bicep wraps and attaches just above and around the shoulders. Doing what he describes is the true full contraction of the bicep.

Well a lot of people dont extend their arms fully. Wether that on a standing dumbell curl, preacher curl or machine curls. Why? Cus you can curl more and people love their ego.
@@SyncBoxer Eh have you been to a random commercial gym with skinny teenage dudes with no knowledge? Honestly I see more people with worse form than what he's showing here than better.
It wasnt a swing, it was the completion of the curl. The long head of the biceps attached on the shoulder, so you need to finish the curl where he had it. Or do some spider curls, high cable curls to replicate the same.
@@goosefraba2385the rep itself is poor tho... he's still swinging... Why are the elbows moving at all. You've just copied what the guy said in the video to back him up 😂
Am I the only one who thought both examples looked the same...... Got to watch this a few more times. Edit: The second video je has his arm straight at the bottom.
@@Poopyturdy the biceps aid in shoulder flexion? If u were to keep your elbows completely stiff you’d be sacrificing rom leading to less mechanical tension therefore not optimizing gains. This guy isn’t at all a dummy. He knows wut he’s talking ab.
@@trenhen4311 who cares for spelling this is UA-cam and this is the last time I’ll say it. You and this dummy are completely wrong. He’s showing an incorrect bicep curls twice. There’s people out there with actual knowledge. This guy isn’t one of them.
“Feeling it” doesn’t mean that much. You really “feel” the biceps when you flex them, doesn’t mean they’re being worked optimally. Biceps cross over the shoulder joint meaning they have a role in shoulder flexion, so slight movement isn’t actually detrimental in any way and can actually help the biceps go through a slightly fuller range of motion, as long as you aren’t swinging the weight because that’s when you can start to involve delts more than what is desired. I’m pretty sure Dr. Mike has a video on the topic, you can look it up if you like
@@pyromaniac999 i heard ppl saying that involving the shoulders isn't a bad thing since part of ur bicep extents into the shoulder but I'm not sure how viable that is
I see it in the gym all the time with beginners. I'm guessing someone told them it's advantageous to keep tension on your biceps, so they refuse to straighten their arms.

The tendons in my elbows start hurting after a couple sets of curls, prevents me from pushing my actual muscles, any fix? It is mainly the arm that I used for throwing in baseball that was often in pain.
For beginners, yes. Probably even for your first year or two of lifting. But there comes a point when gains plateau. At this intermediate phase, form corrections can be beneficial, and you may need to start thinking about optimizations of either your workout or your diet.
Worked with a bloke who literally tore his bicep from the bone. He was surprised that he could still flex at the elbow. He could not however probate his forearm. Pronation is most important mate.
That looks like a good exercise for the front delts tho. Especially for those with shoulder impingement issues from standard pressing. By accident a new exercise was invented lol
A lot of people don't understand that both heads of the biceps insert on the scapula at the supraglenoid tubercle and coracoid process, so maximal contraction of the biceps WILL cause some shoulder flexion. If the shoulder joint doesn't flex a little, you're not maximally contracting the biceps
But then you miss out on having that bit of shoulder flexion, meaning missing out on Full contraction. The bicep flexes the shoulder as well as the elbow.
Question: I have always done my dumbell curls by having a "hammer grip/neutral grip" at the bottom and twisting it on the way up to a supinated grip at the top. Is this better or worse than to have it supinated all the time?
Elbow flexion is NOT the primary function of the biceps but rather the brachialis muscle that lies deeper in the arm and generates 50% more power for elbow flexion than the biceps brachii. The biceps are mostly involved in supination (aka forearm rotation). It is actually rotation of the forearm from facing away to facing towards the body which activates the biceps and not just elbow flexion as demonstrated.
@@SandboxerOfficial By using dumbbells instead of a bar and rotating on the way up. So start with your hands by your sides or even better fingers pointing behind you (pronation) and twist on the way up so that your fingers point towards your face (supination).
Dude, your whole comment is like 90% BS. You're basically telling us that biceps and brachialis are working separately and you have to work out them separately by doing different exercises? But they work together, and elbow flexion IS the primary function of the bicep. AND forearm supination is the primary function too. Crazy, how a muscle can have different functions at the same time, right? By your logic dudes can just rotate their forearms all day in the gyms and have Arnold-sized biceps. Gee, I wonder why it's not happening
@@KeksimusMaximus One muscle can't have two primary functions. Primary means first. It implies that you give a numbering to functions. But two muscles can have the same movement as their primary function.
Do 1 arm at a time so you can focus on that and keep good form. You should have your elbows tucked into your sides and not moving at all, so all the work is done by tue biceps and isn't affected by the shoulders
Is there any befit to doing one are at the time ? I always do one arm at the time, it takes longer but I feel like my form is much better when doing it like that
Using your shoulders isn’t the end of the world as that is a function of the bicep. A good mixup for bicep curls is to bring it up to your face and then super slowly extend your elbows. Makes the concentric easier but you can burn up your biceps on the slow eccentric motion.
Sean: Don't move your shoulder during curls Also Sean: Demonstrates how to "properly" do curls while clearly still moving his shoulder. Bruh. Seriously, don't move the shoulder AT ALL. No excuses.
@@liamjohnson7887 I was saying that it's not exactly clean, even if he's absolutely right that one is much better than the other. I was pointing out the minor flaw in the correct one, namely the upper arm was still unnecessarily moving, swaying for "assistance". Thing is, he's not training for the Olympics so it doesn't need to be flawless. 98% is fine and way better than 99% of lifters.
For real lol his elbows are moving way too much. I was told by my trainer at my gym and many other people that your elbows should stay to your sides and not move forward too much if you're specifically trying to target your biceps
Im 32 years old and I use to workout hard in my early 20's. I ended up hurting my infraspinatus muscles aka rotator cuffs at the age of 26. I quit working out after that because of the pain. After watching Sam for about a weeks now, he is really inspiring me to get back at it and fix my injury.
Just another slight tip, it’s affected my biceps’ growth significantly as well. You don’t have to bring the weight all the way up to your face or your neck, even stopping the weight at about a 45-50 degree angle (just past the halfway point) and focusing on the negative motion instead of just jolting the weight up will give you the fattest pump. It’s really all personal preference, so if you feel you’re targeting your biceps more by extending your range of motion, that’s fine but if you got short ass arms like me, doing just a bit more than a “half rep” is perfectly fine.
Already ahead of you brother. I've been lifting hard here lately i'm super excited to be back in the game. I love armrestling And recommend looking into some of the workouts. Builds stupid strong hands and forearms!
If I'm gonna isolate them. Sitting on the bench with the back raised, slightly tilted back so my arms are straight up and down but my torso is slightly back. Use a little lighter weight than normal. Explode up and slow descend. Gives a killer pump
Good tip for new people. For anyone who’s been at it for a month or two transition into keeping your elbows perfectly parallel to your body and eachother (as best you can) and then curl up without moving them from said position. If you have access to those bicep machines that you can test your arms on and curl use that as it’ll let you get full range of motion for best precision on the curl but regardless main thing is avoid moving your elbows / shoulders much

And Hebrews 13:5 tells us, “Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you’”
God isn’t austere and angry and reluctant to work in our lives. He loves us and has a tender heart toward us. And it gives Him pleasure to give to us His kingdom and His blessing.
When you put your trust in Christ, not only does He forgive you of your sins, but He also puts His righteousness in your spiritual account, so to speak. Your account is full. And everything you need to live a full and productive life is there in a relationship with God.
I already let the weight go all the way down yet still curl 60 pounds in each arm
Man is still moving his whole arms tho
The biceps also flex the shoulder. Without adding a little shoulder flexion, the biceps don't get a full contraction.
Only newbies & influencers trying appeal to newbies keep arms perfectly by their sides.
Lifting them up makes your biceps contract Harder which is why everybody with real world experience does is
Love how the incorrect form is hilariously exaggerated bc your “correct” form is also bad
Edit: I take it back. I now realise he's got fine form
Second Edit: I take back the takeback. The elbow movement is clearly cheating the rep.
lol
he's correcting the elbow flexion portion of the movement, if you actually look at his other videos, he does perform the correct movement and advises towards that

Are you deaf or licking UA-camrs' balls is just a hobby to you?
I love how he still moves his shoulders slightly at the top. Part of the bicep wraps and attaches just above and around the shoulders. Doing what he describes is the true full contraction of the bicep.

The Shepherd’s Desire
‘The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life’
-John 10:10
What is the desire of the Good Shepherd for His sheep? His desire for His flock is for them to flourish. He wants them to be well-fed and cared for. He wants them to be content and satisfied.
Jesus said, “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep”
(John 10:10-11)
However, this abundant life that Jesus spoke of may not necessarily be a long one. But it certainly is a full one. Medical science has had breakthroughs of late that might extend our lives. But only Jesus Christ can add life to our years.
It is the Good Shepherd’s joy to lead us to “green meadows” and “beside peaceful streams” (see Psalm 23:2) Jesus not only promises life beyond the grave. He also said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10)
Thus, like David we can say, “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need” (Psalm 23:1)
Contentment is a great thing to have in our lives. The apostle Paul said, “Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength”
(Philippians 4:11-13)
It isn’t the idea of being content because we have a lot; rather, it’s being content regardless of what we have. As followers of Jesus Christ, our contentment doesn’t come from what we have; it comes from Who we know.
We know this is true because there are so many miserable, wealthy people in the world today. We read about them all the time. Their lives are falling apart. Their marriages are falling apart. They’re battling addictions. And they are not content.
But we can find contentment in a relationship with the Good Shepherd. Jesus said, “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom” (Luke 12:32)
And Hebrews 13:5 tells us, “Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you’”
God isn’t austere and angry and reluctant to work in our lives. He loves us and has a tender heart toward us. And it gives Him pleasure to give to us His kingdom and His blessing.
When you put your trust in Christ, not only does He forgive you of your sins, but He also puts His righteousness in your spiritual account, so to speak. Your account is full. And everything you need to live a full and productive life is there in a relationship with God.

Who TF honestly keeps a bend in their arms like that when doing curls? Seriously…I’m curious who actually does this.
Well a lot of people dont extend their arms fully. Wether that on a standing dumbell curl, preacher curl or machine curls. Why? Cus you can curl more and people love their ego.

It wasnt a swing, it was the completion of the curl. The long head of the biceps attached on the shoulder, so you need to finish the curl where he had it. Or do some spider curls, high cable curls to replicate the same.

That’s because this dummy is still using his shoulders to swing the weights up in both example. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
@@Poopyturdy the biceps aid in shoulder flexion? If u were to keep your elbows completely stiff you’d be sacrificing rom leading to less mechanical tension therefore not optimizing gains. This guy isn’t at all a dummy. He knows wut he’s talking ab.

Actually most BB will tell you to maintain your biceps tight against your torso and DON'T MOVE YOUR ELBOW AT ALL, try it, you can really feel it
Yes, you solely focus on just the bisep. Which is what you want with any muscle group.
“Feeling it” doesn’t mean that much. You really “feel” the biceps when you flex them, doesn’t mean they’re being worked optimally. Biceps cross over the shoulder joint meaning they have a role in shoulder flexion, so slight movement isn’t actually detrimental in any way and can actually help the biceps go through a slightly fuller range of motion, as long as you aren’t swinging the weight because that’s when you can start to involve delts more than what is desired. I’m pretty sure Dr. Mike has a video on the topic, you can look it up if you like
Once I started following this advice I saw a big improvement.
Thanks for keeping it relatively simple
I've literally never seen a person so a curl like the first example
You sir are the only one who does curls like that lol 😂 nobody has ever, only you
ong noone uses shoulders unless its like the last 3 reps.
@@pyromaniac999 i heard ppl saying that involving the shoulders isn't a bad thing since part of ur bicep extents into the shoulder but I'm not sure how viable that is
@@keithfields1756 not at all. it uses your biceps less and gives you more support.
I see it in the gym all the time with beginners. I'm guessing someone told them it's advantageous to keep tension on your biceps, so they refuse to straighten their arms.

Ameen 🙏🏽
I've come to learn that Sean is always correct! Sean is a phenomenal Instructor.
He still doin it wrong...when i lock my elbow it lock😂😂😂
The way I like to teach bicep curls is telling them to pin the elbow to their side
yup, make them biceps wider
The tendons in my elbows start hurting after a couple sets of curls, prevents me from pushing my actual muscles, any fix? It is mainly the arm that I used for throwing in baseball that was often in pain.
Missing out on full contraction. The bicep not only flexes the elbow, but the shoulder too.
I told this to a friend a while ago and he replied with an "but it will be way more harder this way"
Yeah... Like... That's the point
I claim this positive energy. Thank you Universe 🙏
As long as you are working out your good.
For beginners, yes. Probably even for your first year or two of lifting. But there comes a point when gains plateau. At this intermediate phase, form corrections can be beneficial, and you may need to start thinking about optimizations of either your workout or your diet.
i used to do these the wrong way and thankfully i fixed my form
Worked with a bloke who literally tore his bicep from the bone. He was surprised that he could still flex at the elbow. He could not however probate his forearm. Pronation is most important mate.
Who does curls like that tho 😂 I don’t even hardly work out and that looked crazy 💀
That looks like a good exercise for the front delts tho. Especially for those with shoulder impingement issues from standard pressing. By accident a new exercise was invented lol
A lot of people don't understand that both heads of the biceps insert on the scapula at the supraglenoid tubercle and coracoid process, so maximal contraction of the biceps WILL cause some shoulder flexion. If the shoulder joint doesn't flex a little, you're not maximally contracting the biceps
Finally. A comment from someone who understands anatomy.
I have never seen someone do a bicep curl like either of the methods you’ve shown
Only way to do bicep curls is to get behind a 90 degree bench and keep your tricep against the back rest while you curl. Impossible to cheat that way.
Scott/ Preacher
But then you miss out on having that bit of shoulder flexion, meaning missing out on Full contraction. The bicep flexes the shoulder as well as the elbow.
Question:
I have always done my dumbell curls by having a "hammer grip/neutral grip" at the bottom and twisting it on the way up to a supinated grip at the top. Is this better or worse than to have it supinated all the time?
learnt that on athlean-x?
It is better to build a peak but less stress at the bottom of the rep.
I would suggest keeping a supinated grip throughout, gives a more of a barbell curl feel, and it gives me better pumps
@Oldwhale401 no.
Well, what you're doing gets a longer contraction, as you are stretching the biceps brachi more. So by all means keep doing it like that.
U dropped this queen 💉💊
Ya reckon?
If you think this isn't natty you have a very low standard of what good gains look like lol
You dropped this 🤡
I'm sorry for your mother, it must be awkward to have a restard child
True
Thank you 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Boss!!!! Love your physic bro.
Elbow flexion is NOT the primary function of the biceps but rather the brachialis muscle that lies deeper in the arm and generates 50% more power for elbow flexion than the biceps brachii. The biceps are mostly involved in supination (aka forearm rotation). It is actually rotation of the forearm from facing away to facing towards the body which activates the biceps and not just elbow flexion as demonstrated.
truth
how would you train this function most effectively?
@@SandboxerOfficial By using dumbbells instead of a bar and rotating on the way up. So start with your hands by your sides or even better fingers pointing behind you (pronation) and twist on the way up so that your fingers point towards your face (supination).
Dude, your whole comment is like 90% BS. You're basically telling us that biceps and brachialis are working separately and you have to work out them separately by doing different exercises? But they work together, and elbow flexion IS the primary function of the bicep. AND forearm supination is the primary function too. Crazy, how a muscle can have different functions at the same time, right? By your logic dudes can just rotate their forearms all day in the gyms and have Arnold-sized biceps. Gee, I wonder why it's not happening
@@KeksimusMaximus One muscle can't have two primary functions. Primary means first. It implies that you give a numbering to functions.
But two muscles can have the same movement as their primary function.
Squid game theme song .
Do 1 arm at a time so you can focus on that and keep good form. You should have your elbows tucked into your sides and not moving at all, so all the work is done by tue biceps and isn't affected by the shoulders
The relief that I’ve actually been doing it right.
This is like when announcers say if the home team wants to win, they have to score more points than the other team.
Is there any befit to doing one are at the time ?
I always do one arm at the time, it takes longer but I feel like my form is much better when doing it like that
It does lower intensity, so it is technically slightly worse. But if you have time and still preform well balanced reps then it shouldn't matter much.
Takes longer but is better overall, since you focus more on the form, leading to a better workout.
@@Jakob-nu2hc you can still train each arm just as intense as doing both at the same time it just takes longer doing them one at a time
If you wanna build your biceps, do bicep curls correctly not incorrectly. Amazing
Wow you’ve added so much insight
I was doing it like that but lighten the weight and now i get that burn ive always wanted 🙏🏽 hopefully ill get bigger now
Using your shoulders isn’t the end of the world as that is a function of the bicep. A good mixup for bicep curls is to bring it up to your face and then super slowly extend your elbows. Makes the concentric easier but you can burn up your biceps on the slow eccentric motion.
Sean: Don't move your shoulder during curls
Also Sean: Demonstrates how to "properly" do curls while clearly still moving his shoulder.
Bruh. Seriously, don't move the shoulder AT ALL. No excuses.
Actually a little shoulder movement is perfectly fine, the main thing is you get a good bicep stretch and almost lock your elbows out
Kinesiology has left the chat. Biceps do perform shoulder flexion, abduction.
The shoulder moves naturally with the biceps. His whole point is to not actively use the delts to aid with the lift
Show me the part where he says don't move your shoulder during curls.
@@liamjohnson7887 I was saying that it's not exactly clean, even if he's absolutely right that one is much better than the other. I was pointing out the minor flaw in the correct one, namely the upper arm was still unnecessarily moving, swaying for "assistance". Thing is, he's not training for the Olympics so it doesn't need to be flawless. 98% is fine and way better than 99% of lifters.
Lmao you’re not supposed to swing. What the heck is that “correct” form.?
For real lol his elbows are moving way too much. I was told by my trainer at my gym and many other people that your elbows should stay to your sides and not move forward too much if you're specifically trying to target your biceps
Just don't swing your elbows and don't straighten out at the bottom of the rep. Easy form fix.
@inyrui your trainer is incorrect. The bicep crosses the shoulder joint, meaning the bicep assisists shoulder flexion.
Yep, Sean dropped the ball on this one.
the long head of the biceps is responsible for anterior shoulder rotation though
bro got dad strength
“If you wanna build muscles in your bicep, don’t do this:…”
*does something blatantly wrong that maybe 1 in 100 people at the gym would ever do*
It's just an excuse for a video at this point
Please come to my gym. Almost everyone does this.
Yea, we already know you hacen't been in a gym in your life. Now stay quiet dyel
Took years till I got some good instruction and learned this. 😅
Trying to back back in gym thanks
well dude keep swinging his arms
Thanks Sean
Thank u
. So smart
Thanks for showing the proper wayI did not know I was doing it wrong
Bro didn’t even pin his shoulders back 😮
Respect has increased to you ❤
Im 32 years old and I use to workout hard in my early 20's. I ended up hurting my infraspinatus muscles aka rotator cuffs at the age of 26. I quit working out after that because of the pain. After watching Sam for about a weeks now, he is really inspiring me to get back at it and fix my injury.
Just another slight tip, it’s affected my biceps’ growth significantly as well.
You don’t have to bring the weight all the way up to your face or your neck, even stopping the weight at about a 45-50 degree angle (just past the halfway point) and focusing on the negative motion instead of just jolting the weight up will give you the fattest pump.
It’s really all personal preference, so if you feel you’re targeting your biceps more by extending your range of motion, that’s fine but if you got short ass arms like me, doing just a bit more than a “half rep” is perfectly fine.
Thanks brother
Already ahead of you brother. I've been lifting hard here lately i'm super excited to be back in the game. I love armrestling And recommend looking into some of the workouts. Builds stupid strong hands and forearms!
Thank you
I figured this tip out just from trial and error, less weight more reps.
Nice arms buddy!😮
Buddy looks just like Li Yong from Warrior… compliment
I see this every single day at the gym
I'm glad you didn't discount beinging your elbows up as one of the bicep heads attaches to the shoulder joint and is worked harder by raising them :)
😊💪🏋️ thanks so much!
If I'm gonna isolate them. Sitting on the bench with the back raised, slightly tilted back so my arms are straight up and down but my torso is slightly back. Use a little lighter weight than normal. Explode up and slow descend. Gives a killer pump
Good tip for new people. For anyone who’s been at it for a month or two transition into keeping your elbows perfectly parallel to your body and eachother (as best you can) and then curl up without moving them from said position. If you have access to those bicep machines that you can test your arms on and curl use that as it’ll let you get full range of motion for best precision on the curl but regardless main thing is avoid moving your elbows / shoulders much
Exactly. Keeping your arms bent and swiging the weights up is more like a front raise, just with bent arms.
YES! I DO THIS! I forgot that I learned this, & this video reminded me that I already subconsciously do this when I work out.
thanks
im starting to try my routine today
got my weights last thursday
e
That's why I like seated, decline curls
Man: don’t lift using your shoulders
Same man: uses his shoulders to lift
I bet you have chicken biceps compared to his
Thx dude ima a beginner and this helped
Thanks sean❤
My goodness!!! Everyone always says do this form!!! 😮
Good form
Needed this 💯
Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks!
Thanks
Legend advice! Want big biceps, do full range reps 💪🏼😁
Cant stop me bro
Bicep curls are always most effective from a seated position
I would suggest pushing your hips back with a slight anterior tilt to keep your arms infront of your body free.
BTW, that is the PERFECT form for doing a Front Raise, building the anterior delts
Nice shoulder pin
Useful.
