Want to avoid an injury while doing bicep curls? Focus on this phase of the lift.

Curling up is called the concentric or shortening phase, meaning the muscle shortens or balls up.

When you lower the arms down, this is the eccentric phase. The muscle is contracting, but it’s also lengthening.

The importance of doing the eccentric phase slowly (for 5-6 seconds) is to recruit a good amount of muscle tissue to build upon.

You’re introducing lengthening to the tendon, creating tissue remodeling. This will fortify that tendon and make it resilient to future strains or tears.

Follow a slow count up and an even slower count down to get better, not older!
