What if bicep curls were damaging your shoulder function? Should you stop doing them completely? What if you're a bodybuilder or overhead athlete?
Coach E and Dr. B dive into WHO shoulder stop doing bicep curls (or at least reduce the number of reps). They also show cover what happens when you keep doing bicep curls while in shoulder pain. Hint: they're related. Dr. B also explains what bodybuilders and overhead/throwing athletes need to know about bicep curls in relation to their long-term shoulder health.
You'll then get four exercises you can do to safely strengthen your bicep without running the risks Dr. B talks about in the first part of the video.
Remember the form cues! You'll need either a pullup bar or rowing-motion equipment and dumbbells.
Exercise 1 improves your shoulder range of motion. Remember to start off by slowly ramping up contraction. In Exercise 2, you'll need a wall to lean on. Avoid hyper-extending your low back. For Exercise 3, pay attention to your wrist positioning. Keep them in neutral. Then, pay attention to what you're doing with your shoulders. Finally, for Exercise 4, notice your shoulder positioning both when you start and as you progress in your reps.
