Cuts the range/set
Hi
From a book on bodybuilding:
When doing the barbell curl, inhale as you pull the bar up to your chest
and exhale as you return to the starting position. Do not bend your
back or you’ll damage your spine. Do not lean forward either as it cuts
the range of the motion. Do not rush the set, speed is useless and
doesn’t translate to faster progress.
Does "cut the range of the motion" mean that you will shorten the motion?
"Do not ruch the set" - I take it to mean that you shouldn't make fast movements with the given weight.
Doesn't the "set" mean the same as a "round"? For example: do 5 sets/rounds of this exercise?
