Thumbs Out
Thumb placement is critical when working on form. If you wrap your thumbs around the bar during your grip on any movement then you will end up incorporating your forearms. If you keep your thumbs out, as shown in the attached example, you will keep your forearm muscles out of the movement entirely. Sometimes you want them incorporated, sometimes you don't. Using proper form is allowing me to utilize the muscles intended for the movement.

I'm going to ignore, just this once, that you are bicep curling in a squat rack.
You can DL over 300lb, so you should have no problem picking it up from the floor.
BroScienceLife on youtube is pretty astute at this kind of thing: most of this is noob stuff, but there's a small part on bicep curls.

Is that you in the video Anthony? (135lb curls)
On a side note, I think I'm gonna start doing full body workouts.
I've always wanted to try them out but was hesitant to try something new.
Gonna do that for 2 months and see where it takes me. As opposed to doing splits for 4-5 times a week.
Just gonna do full body 3 days a week.

September 1st:
Barbell Curl: 45 lbs
Bench: 90 lbs
Squat: 90 lbs
Shoulder press: 30 lbs
Bent over row: 60 lbs
November 1st:
Barbell Curl: 90 lbs
Bench: 185 lbs
Squat: 135 lbs (I have little ***** legs, gimme a break, I'm working my way up!!! I only did legs 3 times in those two months. Hopefully this full body thing will fix things up )
Shoulder press: 55 lbs
Bent over row: 135 lbs
I was no way fat at all by any means, but I've lost 8 lbs since. Buddies guess me at 170-180 lbs. But nope, they are pretty shocked when I tell them 147 lol.
BEING LEANNNNNN FTW.
Some pics:
nothing impressive, but whatever. I'm happy with what I have.
Edit: Bah gawd, was going through this thread, Anthony you mother****ing beast!! I almost feel embarrassed sharing my stuff lol.

I cant see this pics for some reason :/
These numbers right here would have had me guess you at 150lb (and looking at your photos). If your lower body matched your upper body, then your friends would have been more accurate. Get those legs going man! lolSquat: 90 lbs

holy crap you are really big for 147. how tall are you? I'm creeping up on you. I really need a lot more on the arms but chest is filing out nicely and abs are starting to show.
