    So happy to see this. I’ve lifted for years on and off but was always focused on form and no cheating (thanks dad 💪🏻) and I noticed people lifting heavier (and uglier) were underdeveloped compared to me. Safer and more effective. And in time I’m lifting heavy AND clean. Stop ego lifting guys. Great form and light weight lead to heavier weight with progressive overload

    I did a little bicep training earlier before watching this video. I make sure my shoulders are depressed the entire time and I make sure my elbows are pinned near my side as I curl up the dumbbells. But what's interesting is that I recently tried slowing the dumbbell down as I curl up and down, and I noticed how harder it was. In fact, my biceps still feels like it is on fire now. Great tutorial!

    One of your best videos you’ve made, great points great explanation and demonstration. I don’t know a lot about how your views work for you tube. Yes I understand you get maybe a few more views with drama videos. I just do t feel you need to make very dramatic gossiping videos. AthleanX did not do that to get millions of subs. I know I don’t know that much about you tube views etc. Jonni you are good, the way you make your videos with exercises you will get the views. My friends also say your videos are well put together with the way you explain verbally, demonstrate etc. Dude you are so good with that stuff you don’t need to rely on drama videos. Thank you again

    Thank you for being honest and up front with the weight you're using. I've been stuck in the 30-35 lb range for bicep curls for a while. I would get ok pump no mater what but couldn't really progress in weight or reps. If you're working in that range then I feel pretty fine about it. I might even lower my weight a little and make sure I'm not stepping into ego lifting territory.

    Jonni my dude. Been lifting for 11 years now. This video helped me tremendously with biceps exercises. Your approach to training is very similar to mine. I have experimented with form with all muscles, trying to find what's optimal for me for growth and also for mind muscle connection. Biceps has really, even after 11 years, been the one muscle I just can't find solid form. I do exactly what you do in the video, moving elbow positions, etc to find what works. I took one major key from this video into my bicep day today. Letting the dumbell lower your traps and shoulders, depressing them down. This one tip blew up my bicep day. Seriously great info on all your training tip videos. I like the idea of communicating several ways that are acceptable for form, but also showing what mistakes on form will kill the exercise. It demonstrates a range where you as an individual can play with the form, finding what gets the best result but knowing what mistakes to avoid while doing so. Big props man!
