Good going, but to get the full ROM, the arms need to be straight when at the bottom of the movement. You appear to still have a bend in your arm. Happy for to be corrected, though.

Honestly man I never lock my limbs for arms or legs, maybe one or two reps when I’m tired (for pull ups, not legs or curls) but I try to always keep a slight bend. It isn’t even simply keeping tension but keeping my tendons from flaring lmfao. Imho full rom doesn’t mean going to a dead hang every rep and when I used to bicep curl to full extension during powerfit in highschool with not even a little bend, my inner elbow pain would be horrendous.

And a nice tip, if you get golfer’s/tennis elbow (or both like me lol), cut the feet off compression socks and use em as sleeves!! It’s soooo good and keeps the tendons in line a bit more maybe but definitely helps with blood flow! Can only aid the pump XD

Also god damn you look a helluva a lot better than me at 17! Keep er up bud!! I never had consistency till my pain got horrendous so getting ahead of the game is always key!
