hi,

for repetition number 2 on a proper dumbell bicep curl, do i need to
lower the dumbell till my elbow lock vertically, then lift up

or

do i lower the dumbell to the 7 o'clock position (for right arm) (or 4
o'clock for left arm), then lift dumbell up?

thanks.

It depends. You can use heavier weights if you don't go clear to the
bottom, and sometimes that's useful. Since (as far as I know) there is
no competitive standard for curls I don't see how it would matter.

If you don't know how to do a simple barbell curl dumbshit, this NG isn't
going to help you figure it out.

Awww, can't I give someone a little dirt now and then? Where IS Robert

Hey, have you been in the gym this week? Smile

I was in the morning for an hour of cardio plus some weights:
