    How many of these mistakes are you making? I know I've done these in the past: 1. Using a fixed bar - stop locking yourself in to smaller gains. 2. Letting your upper arm move - why swinging around heavier weights is holding your biceps back. 3. Not creating tension in your upper back - Momentum is fine sometimes, but let's nix that for now. 4. Not squeezing at the top - contracting the muscle = magic. 5. Not training different grip angles & different shoulder positions - in short, you're missing out if you're not varying it. 6. Letting your ego take over - I get it... curling heavy dumbbells makes you feel like a boss. But let's focus on what's important to grow the muscle.
