Angling of elbow and involvement of branchioradialis in EZ preacher curls (lemmy.world)

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

Genetics lol, my legs and branchioradialis are (relatively) strong AF but my delts and forearms are extremely stubborn, I have never heard of bayesian curls though, will try them, already do incline on one of my pull days
