proper standing dumbell bicep curls

hi,

for repetition number 2 on a proper dumbell bicep curl, do i need to
lower the dumbell till my elbow lock vertically, then lift up

or

do i lower the dumbell to the 7 o'clock position (for right arm) (or 4
o'clock for left arm), then lift dumbell up?

thanks.

If you don't know how to do a simple barbell curl dumbshit, this NG isn't
going to help you figure it out.

It depends. You can use heavier weights if you don't go clear to the
bottom, and sometimes that's useful. Since (as far as I know) there is
no competitive standard for curls I don't see how it would matter.

Awww, can't I give someone a little dirt now and then? Where IS Robert
Schuh, by the way?

Hey, have you been in the gym this week?

I was in the morning for an hour of cardio plus some weights:

Thank you.

I was testing you. As I am the president of the American Pricks
Association, I could have caught you in a lie if you claimed that
title.

....

Anyway, points for being a good sport. Or, hey, for simply ignoring a
jab.

No problem Curt, I frequented this news group 5 or 6 years ago when Rober
Schuh was a regular. I learned back then to have a thick skin
