  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your biceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
