Tried them before. Great pump. Just done them as a finisher. Never really used heavy weight or done them for a long period of time so hard to say.

I've always gotten a better feel from "perfect curls" that are done by leaning the torso a bit forward as you near the top of the curl.
This helps keep tension a little longer during the rep.

Keep the bar against torso throughout movement , your elbows will be pulled back behind your body.You are basicly draging the bar up your body hence the name drag curl  :D
I  can only get the bar to just under the pec line and I think you shouldnt be able to get it any higher but the contraction is intense hold it for a couple of seconds and really squeeze hard , you wont be able to use alot of weight with it but as ursus said a great finisher especialy if you wait 30 secs between sets.

try them with a smith machine. you can get the movement down with no lower body awkwardness.

they're only good if you do them strict, otherwise its real easy to get your traps/shoulders involved. the key to move your elbows back horizontally rather than pulling up and keeping the bar close to your body.

Drag Curls are a great bicep excercise,  I like to do them reverse grip for forearms the most though.  My favorite Gironda bicep exercise is the Spider Curl.
