awful form lol

Form does not matter for curls. In fact, the only lift where I have found form to be important is the snatch (the clean to a much lesser extent) as you will not stick a lift with bad form. Even with the snatch there is still wide room for error. Further, if form was so important machines that regulate movement would be superior to free weights.

the reason free weights are superior to machines has nothing to do with form.

This is getting ridiculous.

Form on cheat curls is important.

With 90lbs in each hand you can lean back unevenly and hurt your spine.
Swing the weights up so balistically you don't stress the bicep enough.
Miss the eccentric component completely (as this guy is starting to do).
Look like a prick flailing around in the corner, trying to impress people using too much weight.

Therefore on cheating movements, form is just as important, just DIFFERENT.
