Comments on Basic Curls

Two important notes about basic curls: 1) It's important not to shift the stress of the weights to other muscle groups. You're focusing on your biceps, so let them do the work until you can't work them anymore, and 2) Don't lower the weights too quickly. Much of the benefit in doing curls is in the lowering of the weights back down.
