Re: gym debate

If you cant curl a dumbell with a straight arm then you are going too heavy. From my perspective alot of the muscle imbalances and injuries occur from "bad information" where people think that "heavy" or "intensity" is a number on a bar. With lever joints I totally think full range is necissary. But its interesting using the example of the bicep curl, how missinformed people are as to what exactly is full range. Full range is not touching your shoulders. It should be physically impossible to do that. A curl at its peak is actually very close to a 90 degree angle with total isolation, and not moving the shoulders.
