How to perform it
Flex the elbow without letting the shoulder drift forward or the torso swing. Lower the load under control until the starting position is restored. Prioritize control over speed. Maintain useful tension through the range and deliberately reset the starting position before the next repetition.

Tips
Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load biceps, forearms and hands and wrists without sacrificing position; at intermediate level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity. For unilateral variations, complete the same number of repetitions and a comparable range on both sides.
