Yet, there was a problem with him doing the bicep curls. His form was….questionable?
Lamine Yamal would not keep his arms stiff and his movement was jagged. His poor posture while performing the curl only added the fuel to the fire.
A proper way to perform a bicep curl is to keep your torso straight and arms stiff while performing the curl to make sure no injuries are sustained while doing so.
While standing properly upright, with your feet being apart from each other at the same length of your hips. With elbows glued to your torso and shoulders in a relaxed position.
While doing the curl, bend only the elbows and nothing else. take a pause at the top of the curl and inhale slowly while lowering the weights back to the starting position.
With fans celebrating Lamine Yamal’s will to keep himself fit before the world cup, many of the fans were also quick to point out his technique while doing the bicep curl and how miserable it was.
A lot of fans had received their answers as to why Barca Players were so prone to injury. Having a poor form during workout can only lead to injuries than making the body fit on the field and enable it to perform.
Fans were quick to point out his poor execution and the comments were hilarious to say the least.
A few fans questioned F.C Barcelona for not having proper instructors to guide players during their training session in the gyms.
Despite all the criticism, some fans were happy to see Lamine training and strengthening himself before the World Cup.
With the World Cup nearing, fans can only hope Lamine stays fit and shows peak display of his skills on the pitch.
