to me it looks like hes bringing it up to his chin in height. to get it that high, you almost have to turn the end of exercise into a push motion....which isnt using your biceps at all.
 
I don't even know what exercise that is... curl?

If it is, your elbows should be at a fixed position to allow the greatest ROM. Usually an inch or two infront of your torso.

That's the very first thing I noticed as well.

That is truely ****ty form if that is a bicep curl.
 
jupp, i generally dont use that sites little videos for form, they usually arent that good.. great for finding exersices you can do for different muscle groups, but i wouldnt learn form from it.
 
jupp they are:p but its one exersice.. anyways, i was just saying it, its offtopic. The real topic is that the guy on that little "video" thingy, could hurt his shoulders.

Yeah, i was just looking at it and saying to myself "how can they put this crap up here" its almost like a video of all the WRONG ways of doing a bicep curl.
 
jupp, agree. like i said, use the site for finding exersices for different muscles, but NOT for form. that guy there is like a BBer from LONG ago, when things were very different than now. We had pics of the same dude in our school doing some exersices, you could tell from the pic that it was taken decades ago.
 
The site I posted a few time was done as a project by Mike Robertson and his bandanna wearing friend. Mike is a stickler for form:

I'd also go on to say standing BB curls are perhaps not the best curling exercise. Better to do isolated or preacher, but then Chad Waterbury says the best bicep builder is rope pulls.

I can understand Waterbury's comment. rope pulls on a pully/cable station right?

cable stations reduce gravity's influence on free weights, and gravity can help you cheat some exercises, at least in part of the range of movement.
the cable will keep the resistance consistent the whole time.
