I get a lot forearm when doing preacher curls, why is that? Also is it safe to angle your elbow a bit outwards instead of completely straight, I find I can lift more weight this way, but it also might be cheating…

Edit: EZ Bar preachers

    If you can’t add weight, keep adding reps. Studies show that rep ranges anywhere from 5 to 30 reps can be just as effective. And buy some smaller plates if it helps. Adding 5kg to an exercise like a bicep curl is a significant jump. I have 1kg and 0.5kg micro plates for that reason.
