>Don't squeeze your hands while curling, try to keep your ringers relaxed and extended if possible so that your ceps to the work and not your forearms.
Don't listen to this homosexual you should always grab anything with full force
Normally yes, you'd want to fully grip whatever you are lifting but if OP isn't feeling his ceps while curling, he must try something different.
What do you suggest he do to fix this issue?
I have the same exact issue as OP. If I do something like preacher curls, barbel curls, or standard dumbbell curls, I feel zero activation in my bicep and 100% of it in my forearm.
I fix this by using the ez curl bar. Use a very close grip, you want your hands touching in the middle of the bar. Stand straight up, plant your elbows at your waist, and curl from this position. This made me feel my bicep and zero forearm.

Natural hypertrophy also says he feels it most in his forearm when he does preacher curls, but he still does them and they are his main bicep builder.
>What do you suggest he do to fix this issue?
What issue? His forearms are weak. He's lifting. They'll get stronger. Soon enough he'll be able to hold more than his working weight for curls and then his biceps will get stronger. That's just how compounds go. One day you feel it more here, one day you feel it more there.
How much you're using your forearm won't affect the biceps ability to generate force. You can only "shift" the load to another muscle when they're working together on the same movement plane.
If OP is feeling his forearms but not his biceps it's because either the forearma are massively underdeveloped or because he's using improper technique that doesn't tatget the biceps effectively.
Youre getting the equivalent of shin splints on your forarms. change your technique, rest them for a few weeks or ice the constantly for a few days. next question
nobody uses left click anyway it's only for walking other than paladins who have to use aura on right
you right click and use hotkeys for everything in d2 you fricking low apm noob
homosexual you put "throw" on lmb so you can only run to your cursor and not "attack" because if you accidentally start hitting something it takes forever and some to finish your attack
I'd rather use a soj. One more +1 isn't worth losing the mana.

why level in 07?
I had no interest in 07 because 08 was a launch day patch, 07 was only a sp patch and only on the early discs.

I don't remember all the reasonings I had for starting out in 1.07 but you can craft something like a +35 MPK ring pretty easily which really helps to get an untwinked character going.
There are other nice items in 1.07 which you can rack but I can't be bothered to dig up all the stuff. Check them out, there might be something you really want to have in the present patch. Besides, can't go wrong when starting from the very beginning. You can always move the character forward in patches but can't go back in time. Well, that's my ethics anyway.

I've done more reading than I'd like on old patches. but I already said my reasoning for not considering 07 as anything more than a novelty. I try to treat my sp characters as if they're realm characters, just finely aged. and 07 was never available on realms.

would you FRICKING homosexualS stop injecting this useless word into every one of your goddamn moron sentences? why the frick do you do it? if you had just typed "I feel curls more in my forearms than on my biceps," do you have any reason to suspect that readers would presume you were speaking ironically? why do you say it all the time? do you think it adds a little flair to your posting? a little more panache? well it doesn't. fricking stop it.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
good one, you stupid homosexual. you probably say it all the time too, without even knowing why. just copying lingo from other morons online. is that who you want to be in life? a moron who mimics the verbiage of other morons on the internet?
Were you doing forearm activating workouts beforehand?
Does bench press count?
Don't squeeze your hands while curling, try to keep your ringers relaxed and extended if possible so that your ceps to the work and not your forearms.

Need to know what type of curls anon is doing anyway I would recommend him inclined curls or concentration curls.

homie you just self reported that you're lifting b***h ass weights, my Black person if you curl decent weight you have to hold it
this homie wants you to drop a 20kg dumbbell right in your little toe

You're evidently compensating with forearm muscles instead of relying on your biceps

Your forearms are weak. Keep doing them.
Thats a different sensation and different phenomenon. He is not feeling in that way.
>default attack on left click

I've been doing a playthrough of sc1 campaign. looking forward to getting back on d2.
Try using a barbell and not EZ bars.
