Postby kp1512 on Sat Feb 27, 2010 1:56 pm

Why do all americans do hammer curls like there 50% of the movement?

does anyone else do that here? where they rock them up near enough half way and then boast of hammering 75's?...whats that about?

Nope, pretty much full possible range of motion here. Don't allow my arms to totally straighten at the bottom as that bit doesn't really do anything but full contraction at the top.

I do about a 3/4 ROM

As the Tally says, not right down...but nor right up either, only to the arm is just past 90deg where i feel the peak contraction and squeeze it there.

Going right up and you go slightly past the peak i find
