This is something I've been working on and its helped raise my 1 rep max slightly...Similar to the bench, where some get leg drive by trying to {simulate}, pushing thier toes through the ends of thier shoes. For the curl i try pushing my feet out the sides of my shoes...And similar to the bench where some turn thier elbows out as they press, for the curl i turn my elbows in as I curl...Give it a try and let me know how it works for you, Zekester

Ive found tightening my core and locking down my lats {just before executing the lift}, has helped my 1RM...It helped by providing stability at the sticking point just past halfway, so I can fight through it longer...

I haven't tried strict curl yet. So far the only heavy training for bicep is doing the preacher curl

I actually like the strict curl event...Ive always been strict in my standing curl anyhow, so it didnt effect me much when they put us against the wall. But I know one guy who always trains with momentum and did 170 free standing with leaning backwards, but missed 135 against the wall...My best strict is 148.7, but have never done 170 free standing...

Turning your elbows in does help. The quicker you can get your elbows under the weight the better. You can then use your shoulders and traps a little more.
