What happens when you swing the weight? 🤔
Your hips and back extensors start generating momentum, and the tension shifts away from the biceps. This means less effective reps and less stimulus for growth.
If you're swinging on the first reps ⚠️
The weight is simply too heavy.
Lower the load, keep your torso steady, and curl the weight with full control, allowing the biceps to take charge.
When can momentum be okay? 💡
Momentum may be helpful at the end of the set, when your biceps are already fatigued, and you just need a little boost to complete one last rep.
This helps you reach a more profound fatigue level while still controlling the eccentric phase, where much of the strength and hypertrophy stimulus occurs.
🎯 The key is intention: if you choose to use momentum, use just enough to keep the rep moving, without letting your lower back take over.
