Spot on Ah24..this is a common problem. When conducting bicep curls we tend to hold the bar tight and break the wrist so that it becomes flexed towards our body thus working the forarm....Almost as if we are trying everything to get that bar up. This tends to happen when our biceps fatigue near the end of a set and the body naturaly uses the forearms to compensate and help lift the weight.
So keep the wrist relaxed, locked straight and maintain a light grip to ensure that we work the bicep and not the forearm.
